Elementary and junior high schools in Shizuoka City Resuming school from tomorrow

Elementary and junior high schools, which had been temporarily closed to prevent the transmission of the new coronavirus, were reopened from March 16 in Shizuoka City.

The public elementary and junior high schools in Shizuoka have been temporarily closed for about two weeks from March 3 to 15, but will be reopened on March 16.

The siblings of sixth grader Teru Kawasaki and fourth grader Yuka were busy trying to check the contents of the school bag and finish the homework such as the remaining drills.

Closed schools close to two weeks provide a chance to read books borrowed from the library, but also make it difficult to keep up the pace of studying at the desk, increasing the time spent playing games and watching TV. .

Teru says that the graduation ceremony will be held on the 18th, and on the 16th and the 17th, it will be a busy time to rehearse and practice singing songs at the ceremony, which was not possible due to temporary closure.

"I was bored because I couldn't go outside during the holidays. I'm happy to have the graduation ceremony."

Yuka said, "When I go to school, I want to play with my friends on playground equipment."

"I'm worried that my cycle is so late that I can't sleep at night because I have too much energy during my vacation. I'll do my best to wake up."
