We had entrance ceremonies of public elementary schools in my city on April 7 in Japan.
Both the 1st grade students and their parents wear formal suits, dresses or kimono.
However, it's a very heavily rainy day today, and cherry blossoms will be falling down.
But green and a little cherry blossoms are also beautiful.
As I explained in my previous blog, the 6th and 2nd grade students went to school and the other grades were off today.
The 6th grade students take good care of the first grades such as to hold a hand, guide them to their seats one after another and take them to a restroom during the ceremony.
Some of the fresh kids crying because of the first experience at school, the others have troubles to go to a restroom because of the formal wears.
Moreover, there are a few who even can't control the timing for peeing.
The 6th grade students are very helpful for them.
When you see older boys and girls help little kids, you would feel very warmhearted.
And Every school starts tomorrow, April 8.
Everyone gets a new grade and a new semester here.
Congratulations !!
今日は、公立の小学校の入学式ですね。
うちの末っ子がもう６年生になり、１年生のお世話をする年齢になっているなんて、信じられないなあ。月日が経つのは、本当に早いですね・・・。
こちらも良い歳になっているという訳だ・・・。
学校で働いていた時、６年生には随分助けて貰いました。
慣れない学校に戸惑っている子や、トイレに行くタイミングがをまだ掴めていない子もいれば、サスペンダーをしていて、なかなかおしっこが出来ない子など、たった数時間ですが、とても忙しい１日なんです。
そんな時、６年生はすごく頼りになる存在でした。
６年生が上手く声掛けしてくれて、泣きながらも、お兄さん、お姉さんに手を引かれて歩いている様子は、胸が熱くなるものがあります。
ご入学＆進級、おめでとうございま～す！！
