Hi all, had a very busy and tiring first week at. We started on Monday morning when the children came in with their parents to meet me and their new classroom. I only have 13 children in my class: 3 girls and 10 boys. They are mostly American or British and one Australian. We have done lots of 'getting-to-know-each-other' activities and they have also had their specialist lessons of Japanese, French, PE and Music. There 2 other new teachers with me in Year 5 so it has been quite hectic trying to get our heads round all the planning and timetabling but am sure within a few weeks everything will be running smoothly. We have a 4 day residential trip to the Japanese Alps in 3 weeks to look forward to! The weather has beeen a bit cooler this week so have been able to switch the air conditioning off a bit. We had a huge thunder storm one evening which lit up the whole sky. I got my 'gaijin' (foreigner!) card yesterday so am no longer an illegal alien in Japan - woo hoo!
I hope everyone is looking forward to getting back to school on Monday!
