Recently we had our school festival and it was a brilliant event. I was surprised to see how much work the students put into it and that they do most of the work.I love this idea to put picture in the steps of the stairs.
Our English club put together a small presentation about the UK and parents seem very interested. I had an interesting conversation with one couple who had been to the UK. These are the two English club members who organised everyone; they worked so hard.
My favourite room was the science room. They had so many interesting animals, but I was sad because I could not read all the information about them. I loved the Axolotl, I have never seen one before but they are so funny. I'd like to have one as a pet one day.
The science teacher explained that this frog (below) is from Africa and it a really small black nails. Its looks so strange but I liked it.
This was an interesting game. You have to try and catch a goldfish by scooping it into your pot but the paddle you use to scoop is made from paper so it breaks easily. I was really good fun but I didn't keep the goldfish.
A student told me that this species of fish is really old and it eats other fish, which I found out later when I saw it enjoying a meal. I know what happens to the goldfish that aren't taken home by students!
There
was a lot of artwork around the school, which was really nice to see.
Each homeroom decorated their room and served food and drinks. I really
liked that Alice in Wonderland theme in the picture below.
There was also Calligraphy and flower arranging. I was able to try calligraphy and I loved it, so I hope to be able to start practicing it. However, I will need to learn some more Kanji first.
There were so many music events as well. In one very warm room there was a stage for bands. I only had time to see a few but they were great. I was surprised at the number of bands the school has, especially girl bands.
I particularly enjoyed the school orchestras' performance. I have some movies of them but unfortunately they won't upload and I can't understand why. So here is a photo instead, there were so many but I think I got everyone in.
At the end the girls and boys in third year had a gender swap and catwalk style show. It was very funny and a lot of the boys made very pretty girls.
