Yesterday, the summer school was challenged with a task of making the famous “Cream Anmitsu”. Some said “It’s really good!” while some said “I don’t like the agar” because they were not sued to eating it. Perhaps they are not used to the texture.

We will have Bon Odori at Megumi next Friday. The students in our summer camp have been planning the Bon Odori since the beginning of this week. We are making lanterns and hanging them in the classroom. The excitement leading up to the festival is increasing!

We cooked rice without using a rice cooker (stove-top, in pot).
Tip for cooking rice: “at first begin with low heat, as the rice begins to expand boil the contents in the pot, then as the water + rice begins to simmer, turn the heat off completely – even if the child wants to see, don’t take off the lid (it’s hot)”’
With rice we cooked ourselves we made and ate delicious onigiri!

They tried washing clothes by hand.
A long time ago, everyone washed their clothes like this, a little troublesome right? But everyone had fun washing their clothes and enjoyed the experience.

Today we tried wood block printing with foam. Nagatomo sensei who majored in art was our instructor. The theme was “summer”. The students picked up various motifs such as fireworks, watermelon, popsicles, etc. It was so much fun making an original copy and printing it. They did not want to stop the activity!
