Hello there!

Last Sunday, many people around the world celebrated Valentine’s Day. It’s an event celebrated in different countries around the world. Each country has its own way of celebrating. In Japan, girls usually give boys chocolate, but in Philippines, boys give girls chocolate. They also give flowers, balloons, love letters, stuff toys, and other gifts. Other schools in Philippines even have Valentine’s Day programs. Students put up booths. They sell flowers, chocolates, and other stuff. Many students bring their guitars and sing love songs in front of the classroom. It’s really fun and lively!

Hello there!

My older brother taught me chess when I was young. I stopped playing for many years because I always lost to him. I didn’t enjoy it. Last vacation I started playing again because I got bored. I usually play with strangers on the internet, but I sometimes play with my brothers and cousins too. I still lose a lot of games, but I think I’m getting better. I enjoy it now. I get to spend with my brothers and cousins too because of chess. Now, I realize that chess and other board games are not only about winning. It’s also about being patient and making yourself better. It’s about spending time with your family and friends too.

再び雪が積もり、寒さが厳しい１日となりました。

その中でも活発に動き回る生徒の姿から元気をもらっています。

２月４日、私立一般入試が行われ、３年生が各高校で「受検」に

臨みました。当日は、緊張した表情も見られましたが、

受検者全員が無事に試験を終え、翌日、元気に登校してくれました。

「受検」というものを経験し、少し安堵の表情も見られました。

前日には、校長先生からの激励の言葉をもらい、それぞれが気持ちを高めていました。

次は約一ヶ月後に迫った県立入試に向けて、頑張っていきます！

Hello there!

I’m going to introduce a book again today. Its title is “Fantastic Mr. Fox” by Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl is one of the most famous children’s book writers in the world. His other famous books are “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, “Matilda”, “The BFG”, and so on. “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is about Mr. Fox, a very smart fox who steals food from bad farmers. The farmers try to catch him one day, but Mr. Fox was just too smart for them. This book is about never giving up. It’s about using our minds and being creative. It teaches that we can turn bad things into good things if we think hard and never give up. I think you’ll love this book.

全校生徒で３年生を応援しています！

Hello there!

I want to introduce another book today. Its title is “The Giver” by Lois Lowry. I read this book when I was in college, and I enjoyed it. It’s a good and famous book. It’s about a boy named Jonas. Jonas grew up in a very special town with special rules. People in the town don’t want to remember both good and bad memories. The people in the town wanted everyone to act and think the same like robots. In the story, Jonas learned that everyone is unique, and we must enjoy it. He also learned that both good and bad memories are important in life. This book is a little difficult to read, but I think you’ll like it.

１年生は家庭科の時間に、「食」についての学習を進めています。

食中毒やフードマイレージ等、様々な項目について調べています。

人間の体を作るもとになる「食」に関する知識を付け、興味・関心を

高めてください 。

体育の時間にバスケを行っています。

寒い中ですが、元気に走り回る生徒の姿にパワーをもらっています。

気温が低下し、体も固まり、怪我につながりやすい時期です。準備運動をしっかり

行い、怪我のないように練習したいと思います。
