日本人学校5年生は10歳になる学年。5年生のクラスで二分の一成人式があった。
親から子供へもサプライズの手紙を渡す場があった。私はタイプしたものをだらだら書いたので、アラタはその場で全部読めなかったなあ。
泣いている子供も親もたくさんいた。うちはクールでしたが。私はアラタへの手紙を書いていた時、ちょっと動かされたけど。
また、年に一回の水泳記録会があった。自分の記録に挑戦ということで、あまりコンペティティブではない。学校の記録を塗り替えれば表彰されるけど、学校対抗レースとかもっとあるとやる気がでるのになあ。
At year 5 at PJS, we had the half Seijinshiki ceremony. The
Seijinshiki is a celebration to be adult at the age of 20. And 10 years
old is half the way and more schools have the ceremony.
Mothers
had prepared a surprised letter to our kids. And kids also gave us a
letter. Lots of mothers and kids were so moved and cried. I gave Arata a
letter I typed. I wrote too much and he didn't bother to read... Never
mind.
While writing a letter a day before, I became emotional, too.
And I went to see Swimming gala at PJS. It's not competitive. Children try to beat their own records. Of course if their records break the school records, they are praised. However, I want Arata to be in a bit more competitive environment in terms for swimming....
