学校じまん　"I’m proud of my school” Project（5−2）前編

There are many events at Kansai University Elementary.

We will introduce some of the events chosen by our students.

The first is the Overnight Study Trip. The good thing about these trips is that having them from the first grade creates a sense of independence and cooperation.The 6th graders can go abroad and stay with a homestay family. We can learn different English skills by staying with them. Moreover, we can experience foreign cultures that are different from Japan.

The second are exchanges with junior high school students. By interacting with junior high school students, we can come into contact with people we would not normally talk to.In particular, at Kansai University Elementary School, students in the third and fourth grades compete in Hyakunin-Isshu against junior high school students. During these games, the students compete seriously together with the junior high school students. We have fun memorizing for Hyakunin-Isshu and other poems.

In this way, Kansai University Elementary School has events that other schools do not have.

【Playground】

Our ground is made of artificial grass.There is a big Kandai mark at the center of the ground.We play a lot of games there. For example we can play tag, ride unicycles, and walk on stilts. Everybody can play.We like the playground because we can play with our friends!

Muse-ko club

In our school we have many Muse-ko clubs held after school.For Muse-ko club, specialist teachers come and teach us different things.

For example, we have soccer, cheer-dance, mini basketball, swimming, flag football, gymnastics, tea ceremony, calligraphy, cooking, igo, pottery, Lego Robot, abacus, and programming．

For example, for tea ceremony, you can make your own tea. You can make and drink it in a special room.You can learn more about yourself.

Muse-ko clubs are very fun and exciting.You can learn with students from different grades. You can enter Muse Club from the first grade.
