G5 had a special class on Jan 7th.
They had a “Takoage” and Battledore at PE time.Takoage, means flying a kite, and it’s a popular New Year activity in Japan. “Hanetsuki” is a traditional Japanese badminton-like game played during the New Year holidays .
５年生は１校時の体育で凧揚げと羽根突き（今回はバドミントン）を行いました。羽根突きでは、本格的に失敗すると顔に墨をつけ、みんな大笑いして楽しみました。羽根突きや凧揚げはお正月の伝統的な遊びです。
Also, they had a Kakizome from 5th period and 6th period. “Kakizome” is the first calligraphy writing of the New Year. We write inspiring words such as hope and a New Year goal during Kakizome with a brush.
G5 really enjoyed these activities.
また５校時と６校時は書き初め会をしました。書き初め新年の抱負などを書く行事です。初挑戦の人も真剣に書いていました。
５年生２０１５年も頑張ります。
