For our part, the English Department ran a cultural and\u00a0English activity.\u00a0Malcolm Swanson and 4 of our students first taught the children a traditional\u00a0New Zealand Maori stick game &#8220;<em>Tutira Mai<\/em>.&#8221; We enjoyed practicing the movements and the song before putting it all together for a final performance. Then, we had a simple\u00a0English vocabulary lesson, and the children drew pictures on the iPads using the vocabulary they had learned. Everyone had a lot of fun, and it was a nice change from our normal programmes. Many thanks to Tomomi, Manami, Chinatsu, and Moeko for volunteering their time to help.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5634 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-1.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-3.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-4.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-5.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-6.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-6-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-7.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-7-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-8.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-8-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-9.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-9-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-10.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/seinan-jo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/kids-10-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, June 25, many elementary school age children came to Seinan to enjoy a day of traditional games and making Japanese dishes.
