Olivia out in the fields
At the start of September we were lucky enough to accompany the students to harvest rice in the fields over in Saitama.
The day was very hot and sunny but very enjoyable. We were taught how to use the small scythes the students used to harvest the rice and given a demonstration. After this, everyone was able to try their
hand at harvesting and passing the rice over to the professionals who then put it in the thresher.
It was a great day out with the high school students and their teachers which gave the students, and us, a chance to experience something new and to be outside the classroom for a day.
I had a lot of fun and would really recommend it!
