A souvenir from Russia

It's getting cold here in Tokyo.
Some students caught a cold from the dryness and weather change.

Our principal went to Moscow in Russia the other day.
It seems to snow a lot there....He said it was hard to speak in the chill.
It's difficult to imagine such coldness for the people who grew up in Tokyo like me.
Well, he bought us a souvenir,anyway.
What comes to mind when you talk about Russian souvenirs???

This is it! istn't it??
 "Matryoshka"


He found Mtryoshka of Honda,the soccer player from Japan,
but since our teachers like cats he bought this.
It's very colorful and nice, isnt't it?

Open it!! then....

A little smaller cat appears.
And open it again...then...

Even smaller cat comes out.
Each cats wear different clothes.SO cute!
When it comes to Russia, we thing of  "Matryoshka"
Japan, Manekineko.
South Korea, sea weed.
Canada,maple syrup.
Thailand,elephants...
Finland,Santa Claus!!

It's like "Association Game"^^

He bought us an ornament for our school.

It looks like Santa Claus but it isnt...

Is it a dog on his back??
It looks so cute in his backpack^^

☆The festival of Japanese schools☆

We have a lot of events recently^^
A festival for foreign students was held in Ikebukuro,Tokyo on 26th last month.
Unfortunately it was raining on the day, but quite a few students came and enjoyed the festival^^



A student from our school joined a Kimono show in the afternoon.



She is Miss Lin from Taiwan^^
She said it's hot to wear Kimono@
To wear Kimono you need to wear a lot of underwear inside...;

Several students appeared on stage in beautiful Kimono and were telling the audience
how they felt to wear Kimono in fluent Japanese.



Miss Lin is beautiful, but she looked even more attractive this day^^

Halloween party@

We had a Halloween party the other day.
Our students came to the school in the morning and changed into their costumes before class.
We had lessons in our costumes.☆★☆★
There were a bat, an angel and witch...
We finished the class a little early and made pumpkin cupcakes together.



We made the face parts with the pumkin peel.
They were all weaing serious expressions while they were making them.
Hopefully they try Kanji and Katakana test as hard!
After making the sweets, we had a scavenger hunt.
They looked for cards with sculls in the school.




One of them tried to hide a card to avoid the other team from finding it.....
After finishing the scavenger hunt , we had a quiz show!
They all did a great job!!
They were having problems writing countries in Katakana and something in Hiragana......why??
What are you doing at school everyday!!!
I'm glad they were having a good time together, anyway^^


Teachers looked frustrated because they wanted to give clues but they couldn't.....
The winners won a prize and the party ended^-^
I hope the next year's Halloween party will be even more fun and great^^!!
