[Teachers' Reading Drama]
I spent only three weeks practicing.
In a short period of time
Elementary and junior high school teachers gather in the gymnasium of the elementary school after work.
I was practicing preparatory exercises, vocal exercises, and acting.
Recitation theater is the act of telling a story through a recitation while holding a script.
"Reading", "speaking aloud", "reading aloud".
What is the intention of this line, and to whom is it uttered?
How can I read it aloud to reach the audience?
With each rehearsal
The tone of the teachers' voices that utter the lines
More and more, it reached my ears with more and more depth.
When it comes to rehearsals on stage
Not only for the cast members, but also for the staff
There is a sense of tension and elation in the air.
Looking back, I think the catch-up in the last week was tremendous.
Not only elementary and junior high school students who are students of the teachers, but also
I was very happy that people of all ages came to see it.
On the stage where the moon rises,
Surrounded by the sounds of guitar and violin
It was a majestic recitation play.
Thank you very much.

【Last day of activity in Korakuen】
Since June, I have been to several activities
Maintenance activities in Korakuen.
As of November 2
This year's activities have come to an end.
In hot weather, I used to go into the pond and scoop up the mud.
Even in November, when it gets chilly, I went into the pond.
I was raking up fallen leaves.
What should I do with the fallen leaves I collected?
"That's right, it's a net of onions!"
On the head of the boss of the activity group, freak out! It seems to have come.
Also on the first day of next year's activities
I want to show my face.

[Mini Volleyball Tournament]
The contestants are villagers,
The referee is also a villager,
It is also the villagers who cheer ...
A mini-volleyball tournament by the villagers for the villagers!
Holding cultural festivals, mini-volleyball tournaments, etc.
Even after the summer has passed, there are still lively events.
People you don't usually see exercising
Running after the ball,
Sliding where it doesn't make sense.
They also take turns as referees and scorers.
Even though there were all of them at the opening ceremony
Everyone was looking forward to a drinking party called a reflection meeting
There were only about half of the people left for the closing ceremony.
Thank you to everyone who participated!

[Villagers Cultural Festival 2023]
"There's a village culture festival in November," he said.
I can't believe there is such a festival...! I was surprised.
In Nishikobe Village, a cultural festival was held over three days.
November 1~2 is only on display,
On the 3rd, there will be a presentation in the community center area, an award ceremony, and a stage presentation.
The hotel that is the venue is connected to the community center and library.
In the library area, a used book market was held.
Sometimes, the books that the villagers give away end up in the hands of the villagers who are close to them.
While enjoying exhibitions such as ikebana and pictures and letters
In the tea room, I was able to taste Japanese sweets and tea.
This year, for the first time,
There was also a recitation by the puppet theater Circle Doremi and a storytelling of picture books.
Surrounded by sunlight shining through the ceiling window
I gradually became immersed in the world of spoken word plays and picture books.
In addition to volunteer bands, junior high school brass bands, and piano performances on stage,
In Nishikobe Village, the standard "flash mental arithmetic" was performed by children who attend the abacus class.
For adults, it is a valuable place to make presentations.
It was a cultural festival full of excitement and excitement.

bowling rolling pumpkins, etc.
The ALT family game corner was a great success!
In the puppet show, there is a scene where darts come out.
We asked the audience to throw sweets.
I wonder if the sweets stick properly in practice,
I was worried that everyone would throw it.
I'm glad so many sweets stuck together!
Holding a bag with their own drawings
At the end, we went around each spot to get sweets.
I'm looking forward to next year's Falloween!

Greenwoodwork is becoming an annual tradition in Nishiokoppe Village.
I participated in the bean dish making session.
First, choose whether to use china or yellowfin wood.
Cut with a saw and split in half.
Next, to the thickness you like
The wood was cut while sandwiching it with a special device sharpening horse and sen.
This dedicated instrument is
Depending on the thickness and length of the wood, the angle may be changed or the position of the sandwich may be changed.
The grass cutting instructor is using it brilliantly, and even just watching the model work
It was a lot of fun.
Once the thickness can be adjusted
Carve it with a chisel to give the plate depth.
Depending on the carving, a wave pattern was created, and here too, individuality was visible.
Round and square shapes, also for size and depth
The commitment of each of them is evident.
