一年级 学年集会 ～开启「思考」的时间～
今天，我们举行了一年级学年集会。本次集会没有采用单纯的讲话形式，而是以使用学习单的参与式风格进行。同学们在自己的座位上坐好后，每人领到了一张学习单，首先只写上姓名，等待老师的指示。
负责的老师传达的是一条非常简单的规则：「答案不止一个」「也没有错误的答案」。不要去窥看旁边同学的答案，也不必在意谁还没有写完，最重要的是先面对自己的内心，把想到的写下来——这正是这段时间的意义。同学们或是握着笔静静思索，或是灵光乍现奋笔疾书，以各自的节奏面对着每一个问题。
中途，还设置了与邻座同学简短分享的环节。在这里，老师希望大家珍视的是「不去否定，而是先接住对方」的态度。「我是这样想的，原来你是那样想的呀」——把彼此的不同如实地接受下来。在此基础上若能再回应一句「也可以这样做呢」，对话便会一下子变得丰富起来。
而且，这段时间并不只属于学生。一年级的老师们也一同面对相同的问题，与同学们并肩作答。大人与孩子围着同一张桌子共同思考——这本身就是一种学习的形态，也是**「チーム北稜（北稜团队）」**特有的风景。
最后，老师留下了这样一段话：「在班级和学年中相遇的这些伙伴，三年之后就不在这里了。正因为如此，希望大家珍惜这份缘分。」这是一句简短的话，却让人感到「关爱身边人的第一步」就在这里。希望同学们能像收纳学力和知识一样，把这样的想法也悄悄放进自己心中的抽屉里——这份讯息静静地传递了出来。
集会的后半段，还举行了前几日一年自然体验学习中室内奥林匹克的颁奖仪式。同学们与伙伴齐心协力赢得的成果，让站在舞台上的他们露出了自豪的神情，台下也响起了温暖的掌声。恭喜获奖的同学们！
「珍爱自己，关爱身边人」。面对问题认真思考的时间，与伙伴一同创造回忆的时间——这两者，都将成为今后中学生活的基石。

Year 7 Assembly — A Time to Open Up "Thinking"
Today, the Year 7 assembly was held. Rather than taking the usual lecture-style format, this session was designed as a participatory workshop using worksheets. After students settled into their places, a sheet was handed out to each of them. They began by writing only their names, then waited for the next instruction.
The teacher in charge shared a simple set of rules: "There isn't only one answer," and "There are no wrong answers either." Rather than glancing at a neighbour's sheet or worrying about someone who hadn't yet written anything down, students were invited first to face their own thoughts and put them into words. Some sat quietly with pen in hand, turning the question over in their minds; others jotted things down as ideas came to them. Each student approached the questions at their own pace.
Partway through, there was a short moment for sharing with the person sitting next to them. Here, the teacher highlighted an attitude worth cherishing: "receive what the other person says, without dismissing it." "I think this way — oh, you see it that way." Taking in those differences just as they are, and then perhaps adding, "there's also this way of looking at it," is how a conversation grows richer.
This time did not belong only to the students. The Year 7 teachers also sat with the same questions, working through them alongside the children. Adults and young people thinking side by side at the same table — that, too, is a form of learning, and a scene that feels very much like "Team Hokuryō."
Towards the end, the teacher left the students with these words: "The friends you have met in this class and this year group will not be here in three years' time. That is exactly why this connection is something to treasure." It was a brief remark, but it felt like the first step in caring for the person beside you was right there in the room. Just as we tuck academic knowledge into our minds, we hope students will quietly place this way of thinking into a drawer of their own — that was the gentle message left behind.
In the second half of the assembly, the award ceremony for the Indoor Olympics held during the recent Year 7 Nature Experience Programme also took place. The results, won through teamwork with classmates, brought proud expressions to the students standing on stage, and warm applause rose from the floor. Congratulations to all the winners.
"Cherish yourself, cherish the person next to you." The time spent facing a single question, and the time spent making memories with friends — both will become part of the foundation for the school life that lies ahead.
