25th of September. Shinagawa Gakuen visit.

Today the entire group visited the shinagawa gakuen. It is a primary school and a junior highschool (intermediate) merged together. We were then put into groups and then went to the classes according to the group ; i was put in the hard materials class. Once in side we practiced ruling straight lines down a piece of wood and cutting it. We were then given the challenge of cutting a perfect cut down two lines with a 3mm distance separate the lines and the see if the pieces would stand on their own. After one failure i managed to complete the challenge and make the pieces stand on their own. After that we headed to the firstyears class and made some origami. I quite enjoyed this as they were very happy and energectic and made it fun to be around them. We then had lunch with some of the students. Immediately after lunch we were told we had to sing our song pokarekare ana and so we did. But then we wanted to do the haka and so with michael leading us we delivered an awesome performance. While both the song and the haka was good i think we got a louder clap and more cheers for the great haka performance we did. We then visited a shrine. At the shrine we prayed and also got our fortune sadly i only got a small luck fortune. We then had free time at a massive mall complex where i ate the delicious kurobaagaa or black burger. I then headed to james's homestay's house (as my homestay mum had to work late) where we ate some delicious ramen. Yum.
