Today was our second day attending All Saints Grammar School. In the morning, our buddies came to pick us up and we went to our classroom together. We took classes like: Math, English, and Religion. Some of them were difficult to understand, but our buddies and teachers helped us a lot! We did our best. We also enjoyed playing outside with our friends during recess. We are excited to come to school tomorrow because we will have sports day.

 

 

夏の学校の1日目が終わりました。

１日目は、昆虫採集の日です。捕まえた虫は「BIOME」というアプリにグループごとに登録していき、どれだけポイントを稼いだかを競っていきます。

トンボやカエル、バッタなどはたくさんいましたが、それ以外の虫を見つけられたら得点を伸ばしていけるので、明日に期待です。

夕食の後は火起こしです。マッチの火を新聞紙、割り箸を経由して太い薪に火をつけられたら大成功！成功したグループは自分たちの火で花火をして成功を祝いました。

Today was our first day at All Saints Grammar School. We started in the gym and had a morning assembly. All of the students in All Saints Grammar School welcomed us so nicely and warmly. After the assembly, we went to our classroom and had some classes like math and art. Our buddies are very kind and we learned a lot from them. We had a chance to teach Japanese cultural activities like origami. We cannot wait to come to school again tomorrow!

　8/3（土）まで、上野の東京都美術館にて「第73回全日本学生書道展」が開催されています。習字クラブに所属する17名の児童の作品が入賞し、展示されました。のびのびと力強く書かれた力作ばかりです。7/28（日）には、授賞式が行われました。

We arrived at Sydney early in the morning. We had breakfast at a pancake restaurant. We enjoyed eating pancakes and cheeseburgers! After breakfast, we went to Sydney Observatory Hill. We listened to the Aborigine's stories and got to experience face painting, taking pictures with Aboriginal tools, and painting our own boomerangs. Finally in the afternoon, we met our host families. We are so excited to start our homestay and have fun with them!
