We arrived safely back in Tokyo this morning, so I'd like to say a few final words.  It’s been a good trip, which the students seem to have enjoyed greatly. They were given a great deal of freedom, acted independently, and broadened their worldview. I hope they were able to learn some English, put it into active use, make some new friends, and also discover something about themselves, their abilities, and their potential. At the leaving ceremony on Friday, some of our students received individual awards . The class teachers were asked to nominate one student from each class who stood out, with Satoshi and Taisei receiving such awards for their efforts in the classroom. These prizes were not about academic ability, but recognised students who made a particularly strong effort by consistently showing active engagement, a positive outlook, and an inclusive approach toward involving others. In addition, Rosa was one of only three students (out of around 150) to win an award from t...

My last day was one of the most sensational and unforgettable memories I’ve made.  First we had a graduation ceremony which was fantastic and some of my friends even got rewarded which was splendid and astonishing in a really good way. We sprayed one of our morning teacher with shaving cream and he loved it (I think). After the ceremony we went to London and saw the Big Ben which made me hold my breath. Thinking that such a structure was made in the ancient times shocked me. The streets crowded with people walking which they looked as if they were ants and buildings towering over the streets, London had a strange atmosphere which stood out from an other big cities. It was also a really busy city where people never stopped moving. After I came back from London I went to the river to make my final memory with the friends I met at Saint Clare’s. We went diving into the river which was pretty dirty but the fun moments made me forget that it was such a dirty river. We hugged goodbye and...

They were very friendly. I became friends with Mr. Takayuki in the UK.  He was a very nice person. By Y.T.

My enjoyable trip to the UK is now down to the last two days. Throughout this journey, by meeting and talking with many people, I have learned far more than I could ever learn from books or classes. For example, I discovered the kinds of values people from other countries hold, and what trends are popular among young people in their cultures. I truly learned so much, and I can honestly say that this study abroad experience has made me feel, from the bottom of my heart, that I’m glad I came. I believe that what I have learned here will surely be useful in my future life, so I will do my best to make sure it doesn’t go to waste. By T.M.

  I found a 50p snack at M&S in the UK. It was even more delicious than I expected, so I ended up buying another one. After that, I bought a bubble milk tea, but it overflowed because there was too much, and it ended up spilling on my trousers. By H.K.

Today my mother asked me to buy her a cup of tea, so I headed to City Center! There I bought some tea named Earl Grey and some chocolate milk. After that, I went to eat a hamburger and fries with Waku. It was spicy so I gave it to Waku.  After that, I bought an Oxford key chain and an Oxford hat! I have only two days until I return to Japan from England, so I want to continue to enjoy England to the fullest！ By K.K.
