Before the beginning of the winter vacation the students of Summerhill International School had “Winter Fun” — five days of seasonal activities. Making ornaments, writing holiday cards, baking cookies, and making gingerbread houses were all part of the fun, but a few field trips also helped to make this time memorable. The students and teachers had a blast making crafts, playing musical instruments, and exploring the play areas of Kodomo no Shiro in Aoyama.
Other students from Japanese schools who were on vacation, and same-aged students who were visiting Tokyo for the holidays joined the students who attend Summerhill all year long. The children had a great time meeting new friends and the visitors enjoyed spending time at Summerhill.
Summerhill hosts their Winter Fun program each year during the winter holidays and also has a Summer Fun program. This year’s Summer Fun program will run from June 18 until July 20. Please contact Summerhill with any questions at [email protected]. — JEFF KRATZ
