Setsubun |

|
On Feb 3<sup>rd</sup> we celebrated Setsubun, a traditional Japanese event to mark the end of an old season and celebrate a new season to come. Traditionally a demon from the mountains comes and visits on Setsubun day. Everyone tries to scare him away throwing beans, to symbolize getting rid of the bad and to wish for a good new season without the evil! All the children made their own bean cup and looked forward to the event. ‘I am not scared!’ the older ones said bravely.  When the demon came to STEP school, they were all determined to scare him away! They threw many beans at him, while shouting out loud: ‘Go away!!’  After all they succeeded and the demon went away!
  This week we also got ready for Valentines day! Happy Valentine everyone! |
