  <![CDATA[Hello, Bryn and I have been having more adventures today. First of all we took a train to meet Mr. Katsuhiko, Unification Assistant Superintendent of Shinagawa department of Education where he told us all about the school in Shinagawa and how they are developing their Citizenship curriculum. From there, we caught another train to Keiyo elementary school which had 230 pupils. When we arrived at the front door of the school, we had to take our shoes off and put slippers on.  the headteacher showed us how the school works with the local community and how the cbildren are monitoring the use of electricity and water in the school in order to conserve energy. The year 5 pupils gave us a presentation on their recycling activites,after which I was, alongisde two other headteachers,to give them some information on Wales and about Maes yr Haul. Bryn and I then joined the year 5 pupils for a school dinner, which the children served in the classroom. The children serve their own dinners and clean the classroom themselves afterwards. It was very different from dinners at Maes yr Haul. We had soup, rice and tempura fish along with a carton of milk. I am getting better at using chopsticks already! The children had written &quot;Welcome Mrs.　Mahoney&quot; on their blackboard  They had no computers in their room and no interactive whiteboard.　The children here learn English in primary school and some of them took the opportunity to practise on me. We also have an interpreter who travels around with us. 
Afterwards we caught another train to a school where we observed some of the classes working and shared a discussion with the headteacher and staff about how we teach citizenship. I was able again to show the images of Wales and show Maes yr Haul school and talk about some of the things we do. They were very interested to hear about our school councils in Wales as they don:t have those here in Tokyo.
Tokyo is a fascinating city and very densely populated. Most of the time we are eating J ..]]>

  <![CDATA[Hello,
Bryn the bear and I arrived safely in Tokyo after our 13 hour flight from Heathrow　yesterday(Sunday） morning. We were very tired, but managed to stay awake long enough to take the underground train  for a short journey to walk around and acclimatise ourselves.We are staying at the Shinagawa Price hotel and at the top of the hotel on the 39th floor, there is restaurant  from where this morning we could see Mount Fuji. This morning we had a free morning so the whole group went to Asakusa to see the temple, have our fortunes told and go shopping in the market. At the entrance to the temple is a large gate with a huge lantern, representing the god of thunder. A very kind lady who is an opera singer working for the Tokyo opera saw us working out which ticket we needed to buy for the train and helped us, she also decided to accompany us and it was really helpful having someone to guide us. Bryn thought she was very pretty and had his photo taken with her. He also wanted to take a Rickshaw ride, but we didn:t have time. Many people visit the temple to pray and to place incense on an altar just outside the temple on their way to and from work. This afternoon we attended two lectures  where we were given information on the education system in Shinagawa province and we met many of the headteachers and teachers from the seven school we are to visit in the next four days. Tomororrow three of us will be talking about our schools and showing pictures of the kind of activities you take part in. I am writing this froｍ the internet cafe on the 7th floor of our hotel. Tomorrow I will try and send you some photos of Bryn as he is having many adventures.
Nos da for now.
Mrs.Mahoney]]>
