1. In Japanese elementary schools, classes are divided into small teams for many activities. For example, as part of their education, every day the students clean the classrooms, halls, and yards of their school in these teams. In many elementary schools, the students eat lunch together in their classroom.

2. The children go to assembly in the main hall at 9.00. I n the assemblies the children listen to a story, sing a song and pray. The story is either taken from the Christian Bible or is a story with a moral. The first lesson of the day begins at 9:30 am and lasts for an hour. The children have their morning break from 10:20 - 10:35 am. Our children bring a snack from home to eat in the playgrounds. This snack is usually a packet of crisps, fruit or a couple of biscuits.
