Kouji Haruna
We, pupils in the fourth grade of Chikusa-Kita Elementary School, organized a special team named "Hoku-Sho Yonen Investigators". The members investigated a famous skiing ground in our town by using school hours for social studies.
Our inquiry included field trips, field works such as interviews with people working in the skiing ground. We studied the history of the skiing ground, ideas and efforts for attracting many visitors, the number of ski lifts, the number of rental skis, sales volume and so on.
In the summary of our studies, we applied many methods such as drawing pictures of the skiing ground, making graphic charts for the sales volume and for the number of visitors, and making the miniatures of buildings there.
In winter, we often go to the skiing ground for playing ski. It was a very interesting experience for us to do such an investigation because we found many new facts about the well-known place for us, which we had not known before.
