Bunkasai Report from JET Teacher Laurence
September marks the start of a new semester at Seiritsu Gakuen!! …Kind of. With the school closing two Thursdays in a row because of typhoons and preparations for the Seiritsu culture festival, planning classes and evaluations has proven to be an interesting challenge so far.
The festival itself was amazing though! It always feels heartwarming to see the whole school come together to set up such a grandiose, impressive event.
I love the performances from the cheerleading club and the dance club! Our students are so talented! It’s not a side of them I see often very often.
This year, the English decided to freshen things up by serving some tea! Tea is something people all over the world can enjoy, as well as a good way to get people to try something new.
We still did our classic bingo fortune telling too, of course!
We worked very hard to make the extensive reading room look even better!
Despite the rain on Saturday, we were swarmed with visitors (in a good way) and I had a lot of interesting conversations with our visitors of all ages. Thank you so much taking the time to come to our room if you did! And if you didn’t, don’t’ worry! There’s always next year!
Cheers!
