If one is going to ask our little inquirers in Savannah about what the Community Helpers do for the community, they would say: They help everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what the Savanna class did this week, in collaboration with the Rainforest class, who are talking about the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, they all went ahead and conducted a community clean-up drive. On their way to the park, our explorers looked around and picked up garbage that they stumbled upon. In the beginning, everyone was so worried that they would have a hard time finding some garbage in the street since everyone thought it was all clean, but lo and behold, after the activity, they took back 2 plastic bags of garbage to school. This experience taught everyone that in our own little way, we can help the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result of the reflection on the said event was good and made our little researchers realize that being a garbage collector is not easy, but very important to our community, so our garbage collectors deserve our respect, love and appreciation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japan is known for its deep appreciation of its culture and tradition, and this month, the whole country is going to celebrate: Setsubun. An event where people would try to shew away all the negativity in their lives by throwing beans at a demon and eating ehomaki and beans. In line with this, the Savanna class gathered their strength and prepared for the activity by making their own scary-looking masks, so they could win over the mascot demons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demon came to Shimauchi campus a day early! The children were in a panic, with no time to put on their courage masks. But there were children who bravely beated the demon with newspaper balls!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our little readers reading drills are getting more extensive, yet more fun. This week, our activity was the reading race, where 5 students competed with each other by trying to read the word the teacher showed first and be the first one to reach the goal. The activity adds a challenge to our leaders thus boosting their eagerness to be better readers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is always nice to extend help to one another, collaboration does good things to ourselves and so as the community. As the song goes: If everyone helps each other, we are stronger if we are together! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
