Happy and Sad news

I have a Sad news and a Good news.

Which one do you want to know first? haha

I tell you a good news first! 

It is my friend's birthday!! Happy birthday;) But it's not today. I mean she was born in a leap day<3<3 huhu~

She is a year ahead of me in school in Japan. I'm a member of a dance club in Japan and she is in dance club too. She also study abroad in New Zealand last year.

Congratulation<3<3

The sad news is that Ella left here today. I knew that in this morning.

She was always smiling at me and Chikae and spoke to us a lot.

So we were really happy!! But she has gone...I'm very sad:(

We made a dodecahedron, heart and flower by Origami and wrote a letter.

She seemed happy when we gave them! 

I hope that she can have a wonderful time in Gisborne.

Thank you so much Ella<3

My impressions on NZ.

I was impressed by that how wide and beautiful is the sky.
The sky in New Zealand  heal me<3 And there are so many natures !I feel like I'm in another world.

We have morning tea! I don't have that in Japan so I'm very happy;)

The people in New Zealand speak English so fast speed! At first,I can hear that's like a tongue twister for me. hehehe
It's made hard to understand because even I don't know means of many words.But I can understand a little bit more than before.

I was surprised at that everyone can use P.C. in the class. I think that is very smart!

There are many things that I can choose in the classes for example in Maths class,teacher says "Any 10 questions from here!" so I can choose questions which I want to answer.Moreover we always review the questions with everyone which we could't answer so I can know some tricky question even if I didn't answer the question! That's really nice system. 

I often act as a class in my school in Japan. I have form time at morning and end of the  day. We take same classes sometimes separate into two groups but  it is same subject. That's why I felt strange at the first time because every subject is different friends;-o!

The different things from Tokyo and happy daily happenings!

I was surprised at many things. It takes a long time to explain all so I will tell some of
them:-)
1. I heard that cattle were crying when I was in Maths class. It was very loud!! Everyone laughed about that;)hehe  I thought it cannot believe like that happening if I'm in Tokyo.So I could have a good experience.And there are also horses and sheep everywhere when I ride school bus and so on. It's like I always go to the zoo!!! 
2. There is a no signal so I feel uneasiness when I across the road. I have to across the road everyday but I feel that still now. Don't you feel it?
3.Some students who may be my neighbor give me them smile!!!  I felt really happy<3
4.Sometimes teachers give some sweets for students. 
5. It has a very beautiful starlit sky.(*o*)// And it has wonderful sky during the day. I moved by them<3
6. There are not so many people so we cannot ask someone immediately when we get lost. Then we have to say "Hello? Does anyone in here? Please help us !!" loudly! That's a joke. hehehe;-) 
7.Woodford House has a lot of building in school. My school in japan has 5.
8. We can go to the sea very easily! We need to have long time to go there from Tokyo.

I like here!<3 

About Woodford House

I will introduce about my school.
Woodford House is school for girls.There are border girls and day girls.We have two uniforms that is called day uniform and dress uniform.There is chapel in my school and we have to wear dress uniform every Friday because we have prayer at chapel. 
We have common room where we can have a break.There are a microwave,a refrigeator,a pot,sofa and TV!!! It's very nice;)
We have dinning room too!! I can get some cake,fruit in morning tea and eat lunch. We have two hot food,salad bar,some fruits and bread for lunch. Our school's dishes is well-known as delicious food around near schools!!! hehe..
I like woodford house because teachers and friends are very kind and warm! I can't understand classes exactly still now but  Ms Sime who is my biology teacher encouraged me and Ms Barron always speak to me when I saw her in school. Ms Ellis too.So I'm always thankful for them,Chikae and my host family. Thank you<3
