1st Grade Assembly Report (Autumn Vibes & Toward the Chorus Contest)

Morning Notes
It’s feeling fully like autumn.
With the morning rain, it was even a bit chilly.
The new Student Council officers were out front offering cheerful greetings.

Messages from the Assembly
Although the sky was overcast, we encouraged everyone to stay positive and give their best even without “energy from the sun.”
With the sports festival behind us, both students and staff are settling into life at Hokuryō, and the grade is beginning to feel like a strong, united group.
Last week’s theme was “be more aware of those around you.”
Some people genuinely do not notice things.
Please strive to be someone who looks around, cares for others, and understands how people feel.
We also asked everyone to imagine who they want to be decades from now and to think about the kind of adult they aspire to become.
The teacher recalled that, back in their own junior high days, they often struggled with friendships, though they do remember serving as piano accompanist for the chorus contest.

Toward the Chorus Contest
Classes are beginning to come together.
The 3rd graders, tackling it for the third time, show a different level of focus.
You, too, will be able to do more step by step.
However, progress by one person alone is not enough; the entire class needs to grow together.
Because it is a “contest,” rankings will be assigned.
Winning and losing are both valuable learning experiences in life.
Aim for a strong class groove and sing as one.
Judges evaluate from several perspectives (details will be provided in the handout).

Announcements from Committees
From the Information Committee: this month’s goal is “Respect Copyright.”
From the Committee Chairs’ Council: a slogan was announced to raise each class’s shared sense of purpose.
Let’s put these into action in our daily routines.

Today’s School Lunch

Today’s menu was:
・Chinese Rice Bowl (Chuka-don)
・Deep-fried Tofu with Chinese-style Sauce
・Mandarin Orange
・Steamed Rice
・Milk

The chuka-don was kept piping hot, sending up savory steam.
A rich medley of pork, vegetables, and mushrooms melded together—helped by the “giant kettle effect” that spreads flavor evenly throughout the pot.
In Class 1-3, students cooperated smoothly to serve the meal, then started together with a cheerful “Itadakimasu!”

Held a Whole-School Assembly: Certificates Presented to Second-Semester Class Representatives

At today’s whole-school assembly, we held the certification ceremony for second-semester class representatives.
Please reflect on your roles and do your best for your class, your grade, and for the school community as a whole.

Before the ceremony, we presented awards for artworks exhibited at the Cultural Festival.
Your daily learning and steady effort took shape in achievements that inspire your peers.

The Sports Festival has concluded, and in two weeks we will hold the Cultural Festival and Chorus Contest.
As the seasons change, please take good care of your health.
Let’s prepare with a realistic plan so everyone can perform at their best on the day.
