sports day Explanation: This (運動会) is a special event of schools (mostly at the elementary and middle schools) in Japan. All students are expected to participate in various kinds of sports on that day.

sporting event Explanation: I think here "promenade" means trip or outing and the children weren't told they were going to a "sporting event". An undo-kwai/undoukai/運動会 is usually a school sports day but could be a bigger event or athletics competition, so I think "sporting event" is a safer option in context. |

Athletic meet/meeting Explanation: It seems Undo kai/kwai was held at each school or each town for the purpose of improving health of people in the community. In this context, I assume that the Kirishitan children were not allowed to go to Japanese temples and shrines because of their religion. Nowadays, Undo kai is normally held at elementary schools either in Spring or Fall in Nagasaki. https://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/yaninattyauyo/26178185.html Reference: http://oratio.jp/p_tsushin/vol-170 https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/athletic+meet |
