Valentines Day Poems
For Valentines day, students wrote poems in the traditional American style. For a reminder, this is the model poem:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
and so are you.
Now, here are some of the best student-created poems.
1. Tigers are orange,
Pooh is yellow,
Pigglett is cute,
Your boyfriend is Syo.
2. The sea is blue,
Mountains are green,
Chocolate is sweet,
And Ikuko is queen.
3. The sky is blue,
Snow is white,
Cake is sweet,
and Ikuko is bright.
4. Chocolate is brown,
Bananas are yellow,
That monkey is cute,
It`s a Takuro.
And my personal favorite:
Fires are red,
Glass is colorless.
A tender heart,
but bitter sometimes.

Winter in Japan
Now, a post from a group of 3rd year students about winter in Japan.
We are team Usagi from Iwate in Japan. We would like to tell you about winter in Japan.
Christmas - Christmas is a very exciting day. We like to decorate the Christmas tree. Also, we like to eat Christmas cake. We celebrate by eating a lot. Children are given a gift from Santa.
Winter activities – In a snowball fight, people are hit. Skiing is fun on a snowy slope. Skating is slippery on top of the ice. Snowmen are cute! A “kamakura” is a big snow house.
Food – I will introduce Japanese foods to represent the winter. I think good things to eat at home this cold season are “oden” and tangerines. Oden is a good home food. Lawson’s oden is exceptionally delicious. I have not had it yet, but I want to eat it. As for tangerines, please be careful not to eat too many or you will get yellow hands. Also, remember that it is winter and eating too much food can be bad for your health.
New Year’s – On New Year’s, we go to visit a shrine in the morning. I eat rice cakes on the morning of the New Year. Also, New Year’s cards arrive. We get money from grandparents.
Thank you for reading about winter in Japan. How is winter in your country?
