We had a welcome party for new students as the first whole school meeting this year. The steering committee of the 6th graders gave a welcome message on behalf of the whole school. After that we did true-false quizzes about the school. We had a great game thanks to the MC. The 1st graders seem to know when to listen and enjoy. After that, the 6th graders sang the original song “Rainbow color song” of Hesaka elementary school. They sang carefully and wanted to inherit this song.Click to News

The new school year has started. 103 new 1st graders are welcoming, starting with 727 people. This year all the faculty & staff make efforts for the children’s healthy growth as “our school goal”, which “will nurture certain academic achievement and rich mind and children live a healthy and strong future for the future.” We would like to ask guardians for your understanding and support in our school educational activities this year.　Click to News

　Hesaka Elementary School is located 6 km north of downtown Hiroshima. The school district is surrounded by hills to the east, south and west, and the Ota-gawa River runs north of the school. The JR Geibi Line runs at the foot of the eastern hills, a prefectural road runs along the Ota-gawa River, and another prefectural road runs through the center of the district from north to south.


　This district used to be an old, agricultural area blessed with the clear water of the Ota-gawa River, where people with kind heart had lived. Since around 1955, the area has been developed as a bedroom town of people commuting to downtown Hiroshima.


　Since around 1962, when the district was designated as “residential area,” numerous large housing complexes have been quickly built. As more and more new residential houses, condominiums, and shops were built, the landscape of the district changed.

　４年生は、総合的な学習の時間に「世界の人とつながろう」という学習を行い、ピンパマ小学校のあるオーストラリアについて調べ学習を行いました。調べていくなかで分かったことや疑問に思ったことを各クラスが手紙に書き、模造紙にまとめました。これをピンパマ小学校に送ります。ピンパマ小学校は、夏の暑い日が続いているようです。返事が返ってくるのを楽しみに待ちたいと思います。

　３年生は、ピンパマ小学校に習字の作品を送ります。日本の良さを伝えるために、心を込めて書きました。

ピンパマ小学校の教室に飾ってもらうのが楽しみです。

　ピンパマ小学校等の交流を少しずつ進めています。
　２年生は、生活科の「うごく　うごく　わたしのおもちゃ」での学習を活かし、ピンパマ小学校のみなさんに手作りおもちゃを作りました。富士山やお寿司、日の丸などの日本らしいイラストの入ったものや、オーストラリアのコアラのイラストが入ったものなど、バリエーション豊かな「ぴょんぴょんガエル」がたくさんできました。
　ピンパマ小学校の子どもたちが楽しんでくれるといいなと思います。
