K2 Special Experiences (Part 2)

After Marathon, we had a fun time together.

We also had a great time grooming and riding the horses at AMICUS.

Also, students came in their unique and creative hairstyles.

It is really nice to see our students learning, exploring and experiencing various activities. Keep smiling everyone.

Mango is very popular in Okinawa. However, Philippine mango is a different variety. Filipinos love mangoes too. But we eat green (unripe) mangoes and yellow (ripe) mangoes.

K2 friends learned a song during their Music Time.

They also listened to the stories about Setsubun and thought of the ogre/demon/monster attitude inside them that they want to get rid of.

All of our K2 friends were especially amazing and impressive today. Everyone received their certificate of participation.

Hooray to our winners.

GREAT JOB K2 FRIENDS!!! You are all wonderful.๐Ÿ‘

After our event, we ate and played outside.
