In Toyosu our cohort of boys has become busy with the rat race of cram school and entrance exams to get into high school, so we're down to just two. As you no doubt can tell, we're practicing the tautline hitch here. I didn't need to tell you that, did I?
30 minutes of English conversation, 30 minutes of some craft (like learning essential knots) and then 30 minutes of reading and discussing the story of one of the heroic men of the Bible.
In Hachioji, 90 minutes west of Harumi, there's a larger group of Jr. Hi boys meeting for Boys' Club. This is at snack time after our continuing study of the life of Joseph.
I learned that the bigger the group, the longer it takes to do the craft. No one had mastered any of these basic knots before I taught them at Boys' Club. And, no one had read anything in the Bible before Boys' Club.
Enough of knots. On to paper model building. This was printed on glossy photo paper, so the picture doesn't do it justice. How long will it take to do this project? How much more challenging a model can we attempt? I'll keep you posted.
