On writing our local history, we decided to
take another look at our city.
Eighty children in the sixth grade picked up the good
things and places they were pround of. (Our city is famous
for the story about faithful 47 loyal samurais all over Japan)
Making home page gave them a chance to study about
each samurai of 47, Since there are a lot of spots concerning
the samurais around our school, children know them by name.
But they don't know what each was like.
They have been studying about them by examining
materials and listening to people who know about them.
Children are still now trying to make what each was
like clear with their words through their eyes.
We are to have children's theatricals club and
to play the story of the samurais ,"Chushingura"
in front of pupils and parents this year.
I'm sure their study will be very useful in order
to play roles of the samurais.
We have a plan to study about salt next.
This project was a really good chance for us
all to look over at our region.
Thank you very much.
