We held the school festival on May 27, 28. The festival’s theme was “Revolution” which means something different from before. So we prepared the program for success of this, and the members of the school executive committee played a central role. Programs were, for example, school bands, haunted house and so on. We prepared with joy!

On June 8, we enjoyed Rakugo, which is one of the Japanese traditional comic stories, and paper cutting. Rakugo’s roots date back to the 16th century and it became popular in the 19th century. One performer dresses in a kimono, and while telling the story he can only use a folding fan and towel as props. The performer tells us a story by himself, so he needs to act every character who appears in the story alone. So the performer changes his voices, gestures or facial expressions to show each character.
That day, we heard several stories which were “Time-Noodles” and “Hatsu Tenjin” and so on. Also paper cutting was awesome! The performer cut paper at once into many interesting shapes, for example a running horse ridden a boy on its back and a girl playing with a sparkler and so on.

Library Committee

Hello. We are the library committee. All members of the library committee work hard to make our library more comfortable and easier to use. Our usual work is lending books on the bookshelves, cleaning the library, and making POP displays.

In June, a secondhand book market is held in our library. We sell books, magazines, workbooks, and so on. They are secondhand. The proceeds are given to charity.

November is Reading Month in our school. On each paper that we give where the due date for a borrowed book is written. We also write a lottery number between 1 and 3000 in November. Students can get one lottery by borrowing one book. Winning numbers are published at the end of November. When the student has the paper of winning number, she can get a gift. The number of the books borrowed in November is by far the largest in the year.

We are always planning more activities to make more students attracted to borrowing books.

This weekend, our school has a School Festival for two days. Our committee is taking part in this. We will have many displays. If you come to our School Festival, you should come to our library!

This is the view from the library.

On May 29, about sixty of us went to ASTERPLAZA and enjoyed Noh and Kyougen, which is one of the oldest traditional arts of Japan. It began in the Muromachi period (1333-1573 CE).

ASTERPLAZA has a magnificent stage for Noh and Kyogen, and the pine tree drawn in front of the stage is impressive. Stages for Noh and Kyogen have their own roofs. Look at the picture.  We heard that it is because Noh and Kyogen were originally played outdoors.

As Noh and Kyogen are played in the old Japanese language, we had worried if we would understand it. However, we were able to enjoy it more than we had expected.

The Secretariat

The Secretariat has a smaller number of people than other committees Our daily duties are calculating the approved amount of money which was requested by clubs or committees, and managing by recording data on the budget on our computer. Sometimes, we hold some briefing sessions to explain about the process of the approval to each treasurer, and a conference to show all the students the annual account settlement and draft budgets.

Ⅴ． Committee for beautification

The member of committee for beautification usually copes with a problem about cleaning time. I have heard that there is no cleaning time in a foreign country. But Japan, the student clean own classroom and so there is committee for beatification in our school. There is some student who doesn’t clean. We will decrease them in this year.

Ⅳ． Disciplinary Committee

We, members of the school committee, encourage all students to follow the school rules, and have good manners both inside and outside school. We make various plans and solve any problems in order to achieve this goal. It is difficult and hard for students to follow the rules and keep good manners and for us to alert students, but it is worth doing when the attitude of the students is improved with our plans.

Ⅲ． Home Room Committee

We work hard to make each class the best class every day. The committee is held on Tuesday after school every week. In the committee, all members gather together, pool each class’s good points and bad points, and think of reform measures together. When one class has a problem, we all pool advice in order to help. Our main role is to work in each class, so we appeal to classmates not to be noisy, sleep in class, and to be ready one minute before the lesson and so on every day.
