After a long day in Hiroshima, we arrived in our hotel in
Yamaguchi(Yamaguchi City in Yamaguchi Prefecture). We could only enjoy the
views of the prefecture from the bus and tomorrow will be our first
opportunity to explore.

When we arrived at the hotel, we had some light rain (I’m the rainmaker,
sorry) so the arrival ceremony was a small one with only the class
representatives participating.

We are now exploring the Peace Park’s memorial sites dotted along the
park. We were very fortunate to have volunteer guides to teach us about
the important sites and as well the history of the park. Thank you so
much to all the wonderful Hiroshima volunteers.

After a very nice lunch, we visited the museum for an hour. There were many
powerful displays and exhibits explaining the immediate and long term
affects of the atomic bomb. The hand drawn pictures of from the survivors
were shocking and heartbreaking. One hour wasn’t enough, but it was an
important experience for all of the students.

Travelling from bus, to Shinkansen, to bus, then listening to a powerful
lecture, the students are very hungry as we have lunch at Aioi.
The restaurant was kind enough to provide a lunches for students that have
dietary restrictions. These are the lunches for the Muslim and Hindi
students.

We heard a lecture from an Atomic Bomb survivor, Ms Kono Kiyomi & Mr Mido
Yoshiyuki. They spoke about their amazing stories about their
heartbreaking stories of survival. It has been 77 years since the bombing
of Hiroshima so there are fewer and fewer survivors so this is an
extraordinary experience for all the students.

It looks like we have been fortunate to have no rain, and will continue
with our Hiroshima school trip as planned.
As we pray for peace, our thoughts will be for those who have suffered from
the affects of the typhoon 11.

We arrived in Hiroshima. After a short bus ride from the Shinkansen
station, we are now in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. We have been
greeted by brisk winds caused by the typhoon but no rain. We are going to
give 1000 cranes to the peace monument.

We are now on our Shinkansen heading for Hiroshima, it looks like it we
will be going towards typhoon 11 head on. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
The students seem really relaxed and are enjoying the train ride as they
read books, play cards, and chat the train ride away.

We had hit a little traffic this morning. We are now at Shin Osaka waiting
to get on our Shinkansen. We will have a quick breakfast before getting on
our Shinkansen. The students are so well behaved while waiting for our
train.

今日は人権参観と学級懇談会を実施しました。
人権参観を実施するのも３年ぶりとなります。
全学級が人権をテーマにした授業を参観していただきました。
自分や周りの人のことを考える授業や過去や現在の人権的な事象を取り上げて考える授業を公開しました。
日々の教育活動の中で人権感覚を豊かにしていくことも大切ですが、４５分間人権をテーマに学習することも重要です。各家庭でも今日の学習について話していただけたらと思います。

今日から９月のスタートです。
あいにくの雨模様で、学習園のひまわりも下を向いていました。
今日は３年生が、カルビー出前授業を受けました。
お菓子の選び方や栄養について教えていただきました。
資料や説明がわかりやすく、楽しいお菓子の食べ方について学ぶことができました。
