5月1日（土）こどもの日パーティーがボールルームで開催され、約160人の参加者が端午の節句を祝いました。会友部の森理事のご挨拶に始まり、「こいのぼり」の歌を元気に歌った後、日本人会「絵本と紙芝居の会」による紙芝居やダンスを楽しみました。子どもたちは、かわいいスティッカ―を貼ったかぶとを作り、とてもうれしそうにかぶっていました。最後に皆で柏餅を食べ、そしてお菓子を笑顔で持ち帰りました。ご協力いただきましたスポンサー企業の皆様に、この場をお借り致しまして、厚く御礼申し上げます。

Some 160 children and parents celebrated the Boys’ Festival at the Children’s Day Party organised by the Associate Committee on 1 May (Sat). Following a speech from Chairman of the Associate Committee, Mr Mikio Mori, Koinobori was sung and the party was kicked off! The children had a great time playing fun games and dancing at the Ballroom. They were also treated to a picture story show by the JAS Picture Story-telling group. Another highlight of the day was making their own Kabuto (samurai helmet) personalised with cute cartoon stickers! At the end of the programme, everyone enjoyed kashiwa mochi and went home with goodie bags smiling from ear to ear. The organiser wishes to thank the sponsors for their generous sponsorship.
