The grade 2 & 3 students have been learning that to maintain a healthy lifestyle we need to have a healthy soul, mind and body.

In UOI, the students observed and discussed a variety of different ways in doing this, placing their ideas within a venn diagram. They were able to make connections, show respect and be open-minded. Then in drama they participated in Meditation, Chakra, Yoga for kids and Tai chi. Here are a few pictures we would like to share with you.

So, we’ve been back at school a week already, and it already seems like we’ve never been away. I hope everyone is surviving the heat. We at the PTA have also enjoyed a nice break over the summer, and are just beginning to get back into the swing of things, so please bear with us for a while, as we hope to have news of some fun stuff coming up soon.

Please send your e-mail address to hisptapresident@gmail.com if you haven’t already done so, check us out on facebook and mixi, but otherwise, watch this space!

The following is the Japanese version of the PTA message which was published in last week’s Crane. Thanks to Eriko Shige-Hird for the translation. The English version an be found under “Newsletters” on the school website.
