Bowling Night

Our 3rd-Year students got together (with Ms Tsukamoto and Mr Swanson) for a Bowling Tournament on April 16, with seminar groups fighting for first place! The top prize went to Mr Abe’s class, followed by Ms Nishioka, then Mr Swanson. Lots of fun, but a few sore muscles the next day!

Takoyaki Party

This week, Ms. Nishioka’s seminar class hosted the Winchester University students for a takoyaki and okonmiyaki party. The entire 6th floor was filled with the aroma of delicious food cooking!

English Camp 2013

This year’s English Camp took place at Nishinagato Resort Hotel in Yamaguchi, in a beautiful location next to the Japan Sea. The weather wasn’t so good, but we still managed two days of lectures, group work, activities, performances, and bonding together. It was a great chance for us all to get to know our Year 1 students better. We also had guests from New Zealand, the UK, and Canada, as well as Keiko Willhite from Oxford University Press. The trip ended with a visit to the museum of Kaneko Misuzu… a well-known poet who was born nearby.
