Children are happy to be outdoors in all kinds of weather♪

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening everyone! I’m Natsukichi from Nijiiro 🙂

It’s been snowing and the road surface has been frozen, so every day I experience the Tohoku’s winter.  

Every region seems to be colder this week than it used to be. How is your region? Please take care of yourself…

Miyagi prefecture is very cold now, but the children at the provisional housing in Hibiki Industrial park were very energetic!

There are only two more times left for the activity at Hibiki this year! The  last  activity  will  be  at  the  Christmas  party,  so  we  did  a  general  housecleaning and got prepared for the Christmas party.

We rolled a carpet and piled up the desks in the hall and started cleaning the floor with wet rags! Everyone kicked up the legs to give a sign that they are ready, go! The floor was getting shiny under the sound of zu-da-da-da-da !

One of the kids who was unwilling to clean came close with a wet rag, saying “I’m the fastest!”.

The hall became very shiny after the cleaning race. Everyone worked hard with gratitude, because they know that they could have a good time here this year.

And then, we started the decorations for Christmas! Each of them was decorating according to his taste. Some of the kids were playing with the decorations around their bodies and others were talking with each other “This is going to be here”…

And there are some kids who went outside to run a long-distance after the decoration. Children are happy to be outdoors in all kinds of weather!

We had a lot of activities today such as cleaning, decoration for Christmas and  running lively outside.

Christmas party is coming next week! We hope we will also have a good time next week…
