Aoba-Japan students during the school’s recent Easter egg hunt in Miyamae Park. AOBA-JAPAN
April 9 saw kindergarten and lower elementary students from Aoba-Japan International School celebrate Easter with various activities in the beautiful spring sunshine.
In the morning, in front of parents, students took part in a parade during which they wore their homemade Easter bonnets. There were many seasonal and eye-catching designs on show, demonstrating the students’ artistic flair.
After the parade, students took part in Easter egg dyeing. Hundreds of brightly coloured eggs were created and then hidden by school staff in neighbouring Miyamae Park in anticipation of the afternoon egg hunt.
Guests from nearby Takara Yochien joined the kindergartners. Many of the Takara students had never experienced the thrills and spills of an Easter egg hunt. Much fun was had by all and meaningful cultural exchanges took place! — DUNCAN HARRIS
