9Y4M 7Y6M 日本人学校転校 Switched to Japanese school

アラタは4月より日本人学校の4年生に転校しました。

3年と1学期通っていたセントクリストファーも楽しかったけど、おとなしい彼には全く活躍の場がないし、親友が次々と転校していき、先学期は寂しそうだったので、転校にはあまり抵抗はなかった様子。

さすがに始業式前日はかなり緊張していたけれども（クラスみんなの前で自己紹介したくないと言って）、実は、始業式に全校生徒の前で自己紹介！それをこなせば後は大丈夫だったようで、「楽しかった」と帰ってきた。

今年度の4年生は男子5人女子15人のクラスで男の子が少ないけれども、そのうち2人はナニア幼稚園から知っている友達なので溶け込め易かったと思う。

 宿題も率先してやるし、1週間で既に日本語が上達。漢字は2年生までしか復習できなかったのでまだまだだけど、補習校でやっていたことが少しでも役にたつとよい。

とにかく毎日笑顔で帰ってくるのがすばらしい。

Arata has moved to Penang Japanese School. SCIPS, he studied for 3 years and 1 term, is quite fun but for a quiet and shy Arata, there were not many chances to experience something different.On top of that, most of his best friends have left by last term and Arata was sad during the last term. He has no regret for the new start.

The day before the first day, Arata was quite nervous, because he didn't want to introduce himself in front of his class. Well, at the term-first assembly, he had to do it in front of all children! He managed to do it and when he came home he told me he enjoyed his new school.

In his class, year 4, there are 20 children but only 5 boys. 2 out of them are friends from Taska Nania and he must have felt quite relaxed. Arata does his homework by himself now! And his Japanese has already unproved.

Most of all, Arata comes home with a big smile every day. It's a very good sign!
