We had a welcome Tomoya and thanks Kaori dinner at the indian restaurant, Maita, near the school. We recommend it. Yum!

On March 22, public holiday, we held our first annual (maybe!) bazaar and student talent show. We sold recycled goods (thank you to all who donated), had a bake sale (thank you to all who baked), sold home grown veg (thank you Zuzu family), and had a "flower preservation" craft session )thank you to the flower preservation teacher). Thank you so much to all the parents who helped out on the day, and the children especially, who set up and priced the goods and ran many of the shops and games. A huge thanks to all the kids who bravely and brilliantly took part in the talent show. Wow! Not only do you speak English really well, but you do lots of other things with aplomb too! 

Thank you everyone who came, thank you weather,  and thank you Pennies for Peace for giving us a good reason to work together and have a great day. It was perfect!

It was also with mixed emotions that we said "so long" to Mana. She has accepted a new job as a shougakko teacher in her hometown. We'll miss her but we really wish her well! She promises to visit us sometimes and come to some parties and events. So thank you so much Mana. You were always happy and smiling and fun to work with and learn from. We had a great time with you. And see you soon! 

As she's going to shougakko, we bought her a new satchel (randoseru). We all signed it for her and put a new thermos and lunchbox inside.

It was also Okusan's birthday on Hina Matsuri. But we're not telling how old she was!

 

We made a carrot cake for her (Janina's special recipe. You can get yours at the Bazaar auction if you're lucky!). Okusan was really surprised as you can see! 

Great excitement at school today as our piano arrived. How cool is that? Big thanks to the Erina/Anna family for making it possible.

 His name is Qoo. He's going to live in the library!

Our little sweat shop. Organizing videos, folding brochures. Do you have one?

Today we did first aid training at school and renewed our first aid licences.

 

Well, Family Fun Day was seriously fun! It was super hot, hot, hot, and we had Suma Rikkyu Park almost to ourselves (nobody else was mad enough!). We started in the Botanical Garden and did color hunting and parachuting before lunch. After lunch we had a treasure hunt/survival course as we hiked across the park and we did the Pirate Adventure Trail. We found our treasure - water guns, water balloons, bubbles, snacks and play dough - and chased each other around getting very wet. Just a few photos... if you have any more, pls send them to me so I can put up a special (parents  only) page. KOBILS staff were too busy having fun to take many! Big thanks to Haruki's Dad for taking this great one!
