This week has been an enriching and memorable experience for our Grade 5/6 class, filled with meaningful events that brought our community together and highlighted the importance of kindness, sharing, and creativity.
On Remembrance Day, the children had the unique opportunity to attend a solemn event at the Kobe Foreign Cemetery. They came together with fellow students from Lycée Français International de Kyoto to commemorate peace around the world. The atmosphere was filled with respect and gratitude as our children watched performances by their peers, including heartfelt songs and beautiful violin pieces played by their classmates.
We also celebrated St. Martin, a festival that emphasizes kindness and sharing. Our students gathered in the auditorium to sing songs that resonated with the spirit of the celebration. In the morning, they shared delicious bread, reinforcing the importance of community and togetherness. As the day progressed, the excitement built up for the evening parade around Rokko Island. Our students proudly displayed their handmade lanterns, illuminating the night and creating a magical atmosphere. This parade was a joy-filled occasion where our children enjoyed connecting with the community while remembering the essence of kindness and sharing.
The week culminated with the Grade 5/6 Assembly, where our students showcased the skills and knowledge they acquired during their media unit. They created an engaging video that documented the process of gathering information and developing advertisements tailored for different classes in the school. Embracing their creativity, they used a spy theme for the movie, cleverly pretending to gather information both discretely and obviously. The assembly was not just about showcasing their work—it also included a choreographed dance that they created themselves, demonstrating their teamwork and artistic expression.
In addition to the video, our students published their own newspaper articles, sharing their experiences and insights with the entire school community. They took it a step further by reading the article aloud to their parents, fostering a sense of pride in their accomplishments.
Overall, this week has been a wonderful blend of reflection, celebration, and creativity for our Grade 5/6 class. I am incredibly proud of the students for everything they accomplished and for embodying the values of kindness and community.
Have a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Your homeroom teacher,
Ms. Pam
