UP Winter Ski Trip

Upper Primary
Winter Ski Trip
Off we went on a new adventure, and this was to be an unforgettable one. Driving through the countryside you could very easily spot us from a mile away in our bright pink/purple coach. After 3 hours on the road, we finally arrived at our destination, Hachikita Resort Villa.
It was a very brief stop to drop off our bags because the anticipation of hitting the slopes was growing with each second that passed by. 
I am not sure whether we had hungry little foxes or drooling tigers but let`s just say there was not even a grain of rice left over in the first 15 minutes of lunch time.

Kitted out and placed in our groups, let the fun begin!


After a fantastic day of learning, we had a wholesome dinner before boardgames and lights-out.


Day 2 was an early rise so that we could start the day with a good breakfast and be on the slopes by 9am. 
The children were adamant to make progress and showed their utmost support by cheering on one another with `Ganbare, Ganbare!`. 
   
   
Our final day of skiing and snowboarding came to an end. All the children were very chuffed and proud of themselves and the new skills they have gained. 
After yet another delicious meal, the children then formed teams for quiz night, played boardgames and were very excited to find out that they could sleep in an extra 45min the next morning. 

The Final Day, we had a wonderful breakfast and thanked the hotel for a wonderful and accommodating stay.
Before hitting the road, we stopped off at a sports hall to enjoy some games of beans, pirate ship, duck...duck...goose and dodgeball, they even had a game where it was students vs teachers
...who do you think won?
 
It was a 3hr trip back home to Kobe, where the children were greeted with very big smiles and hugs from their parents.
What a wonderful trip, we look forward to the next one in 2024.
