Grade 4 students were visited by David Sylla, from Guinea in Africa and his wife, Yoko-san. Students had a lot of fun learning about Guinean culture and speaking the Guinean language "Susu". They also watched a traditional drum music performance by Davi-chan and Yoko-san and played along using maracas they had made. Although the experience was in Japanese, the students learned about the importance of language as a key to open up new doors in life and expand their horizons.
4年生はギニアから来日したダビッドさんにギニアの文化や国の特徴を教えてもらいました。通訳の陽子さんに「言語以外のコミュニケーションも大切だけど、言語を知っていれば自信につながるし、あらたに出会うドアを開けるカギを手に入れたことになる」と教えてもらい、改めて言葉の大切さを確認しました。手作りマラカスでギニアのリズムを一緒にきざみ、だんだん熱くなるような経験をしました。
