長万部高校の日常

12月10日（金）見学旅行最終日は、午前中に金閣寺と清水寺を見学しました。昨日に続き天候に恵まれ、気温は16度で北海道人としてはとても過ごしやすい中での研修となりました。清水寺で弁当、湯豆腐の昼食を食べ、八つ橋などの買い物をしました。午後からは帰路につき、伊丹空港から千歳空港、町のバスで長万部に着き、家路につきました。高校生活最大の行事である3泊4日の見学旅行を無事終えることができました。お世話になった方々ありがとうございました。

[School Trip Day 4]

OnDecember 10th, in Kyoto, the students and teachers visited Kinkaku-ji (Temple of the GoldenPavilion) and Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the morning. Luckily, as the previousdays, up in the sky was no cloud. The temperature was about 16 degrees Celsius,which felt quite comfortable for people like the students, all of whom had grownup in Hokkaido, where the average temperature is relatively low in the country. About Kiyomizu-dera Temple, they had boiled tofu, a food which the place is well-known for, for lunch and also enjoyedshopping; they, for example, bought yatsuhashi,a traditional sweet of Kyoto which is very popular for a souvenir. Later, in theafternoon, they got on their journey back to Oshamambe, their hometown.

　Finally and thankfully, the four-day schooltrip finished. It would be their biggest school event in their high schoollife, and we are all happy it ended with no trouble all along the way.

12月9日(木) 見学旅行3日目の午前中は、奈良県を訪れ東大寺と奈良公園の見学をしました。東大寺では国宝の奈良の大仏の大きさに圧倒され、奈良公園ではたくさんの鹿と戯れました。午後からは京都でグループ毎のコース別研修を行いました。事前に自分達で立てた約8時間の計画を遂行するため、交通機関を使い、京都の史跡を見学したり、飲食店を利用して、無事全員時間内にホテルに戻ってきました。天気がとても良く、各グループが貴重な経験を通してとても有意義な研修となったようです。

[School Trip Day 3]
On December 9th, the students and the teachers visited Eastern Great Temple and Nara Park in the morning. In the temple, the students were fascinated by the size of the Great Buddha, which sits in the main hall. In Nara Park, well-known for many wild deer casually waking around, some of the students got to feed them (no worries, people are allowed to do it there).

　In the afternoon, the students were divided into groups scattering across Kyoto and did what they had planned for the next eight hours (e.g., visiting historic spots, having lunch and dinner, taking the public transportation, and many others). And later, they all came back to the hotel on time as they had been told to.

　Thanks to the perfect weather, again, they all had a great time in Kyoto.(Written by Yuto Kobayashi, 2021 2nd year)

12月8日（水）見学旅行2日目はユニバーサル・スタジオ・ジャパン（USJ）で9時から18時半まで、丸一日アトラクションやショッピングを満喫しました。天気にも恵まれ生徒達は楽しく過ごしていました。ホテルに戻る時はさすがに疲れた様子も見られましたが、夕食をしっかり食べ体力を回復させていました。全員体調面に問題なく、研修2日目を終えることができました。

[School Trip Day 2]
On December 8th, the students went to Universal Studio Japan, in which they enjoyed shopping and riding the roller coasters almost the whole day. Luckily unlike the day before, it cleared up, and that allowed them to enjoy the time there even better.
　By the time they returned to the hotel, they seemed already exhausted. But it was only until they started eating dinner. Well, they had a lot of it (needless to say). Fortunately with nobody on the trip becoming sick or getting involved in any accidents, the second day was over.

12月7日（火）の朝8時50分に2学年見学旅行団は学校を出発しました。函館空港に到着し、伊丹空港行きの便に乗る前の様子は少々緊張ぎみ。飛行機は途中揺れましたが、無事到着しました。伊丹空港到着後、最初の見学地の通天閣に向かいました。大阪はあいにくの雨でしたが、通天閣のライトアップが青く光り、大阪に来たなと実感しました。また、高さ87.5mの5階展望台から見る大阪の街並みは素晴らしかったです。ホテルではバイキングで唐揚げ、餃子、卵焼き、たこ焼き、パスタなど、美味しい料理をたくさんいただきました。しかし、この後の外出時間に男子数名はラーメンを食べに行ったということでした。お見事！

[School Trip Day 1]
On 7th of December, the second year and three accompanying teachers left Oshamambe High School at 8:50 in the morning. It was their school trip. Arriving at Hakodate Airport, the students seemed to be getting more and more excited as their boarding time was coming up. After a long waiting, they finally got on board the airplane, which was going to bring them to Itami Airport, Osaka. Although they experienced some turbulence, the airplane made its way to the destination and the students were smiling coming out of the plane.
Shortly after they landed, they left the airport for the first destination of their trip, Tsutenkaku. Although it was rainy in Osaka, it didn't stop the students being excited, not even a little; they were impressed with the beautiful illumination given off by Tsutenkaku, a tower and well-known landmark of Osaka, and they started feeling stronger that they were actually in Osaka at that moment. Also, the scenery seen from the haight of 87.5m, which was the top of the tower, was absolutely breath-taking.
At the hotel for the first night, the students and the teachers were served a lot of delicious food at the buffet. What is more, some students event went out to eat ramen during free time after having dinner. That was fantastic!

[The 25th Regular Concert by the Brass Band Club]

On November 21st, the brass band club held the 25th regular concert at Oshamambe Town Learning and Culture Center. The concert hall was filled with audienceof as many as 80 people on this special occasion. 
　The members had thought throughhow to entertain the audience with the teacher, Shusuke Yoshida, who conductsthe band; not only did they perform music but also they had made a funny shortvideo edited, which made the audience into big laughter. The concert made its way to theend all along with a heartwarming atmosphere. For those who came for the band, again,thank you for coming and the largest round of applause.

Every year, finishing theregular concert means for the band that 3rd graders retire from the club. This year,four 3rd year students retired with two 2nd graders left on the band. The two 2ndgraders promised that they would do their best to keep the history of the band goingon.
