【Report for June 16th】Sun after the rain
Hello everyone.
Its been raining since this morning. I personally hate rain. My shoes get wet and I feel dull…
Children who are often energetic seem to prefer sunny weather to rainy. The ceremony to stop the rain, accompanied by the song "Hare ni nare!", which has become popular since yesterday, has made everyone lively this morning.
Then, the wishes of the children must have reached heaven. In the middle of the first hour, the clouds left and the blue sky was revealed. Non-stop rain is impossible, our life has good and bad things and we don't know when they'll happen, thats just life.
The 3rd grade students have an activity to do. They have been breeding cabbage butterflies since spring as part of their science studies. We collected eggs from cabbage fields, and carefully observed their changing appearance. The carefully nurtured larvae splendidly matured into adults and began to fly around the small breeding box. After a brief moment of joy, they began to ponder.
"What are we going to do?" "It's so small and pitiful." "Let's return them to the sky." The white butterfly was returned to the sky by the hands of two kinds hearts.
From here, the teacher asks again.
"What does a butterfly's body look like? what about its legs? Or its antennae?" Even if you try to observe the butterflies again, they are already so far into the sky. We were so impressed by the healthy appearance of the butterflies, that we had forgotten the purpose of examining them in the first place. "Okay, lets go find more butterflies!"
Even if you fail, you can try again. The children are very tough.
"Excuse me, can we catch another butterfly?" we asked the local farmer who owns the cabbage patch. Thus, butterfly breeing continued.
The white cabbage butterflies that we kept had passed away unfortunately this morning. It's a sad event, but their inquisitive minds easily transcend sentimentality. "It doesn't move anymore, but we can observe it in more detail now!" Examining the butterfly in detail is a way to show appreciation to it. After summarising the results of our research, we used scissors to cut off its wings, and captured pictures in our camera, we then asked questions that everyone could easily understand. "How many legs does it have?" "Where are the legs supposed to be attached to the body?"
It was a wonderful day when the seeds of interest sprout from the life of one white butterfly to the children. The rain will stop soon. Thank you.
