#1 Morning Speech      Welcome Spring               22/04/2015

Good morning Seiryo,

How are you all? I hope you are all great!!

First today, I would like to say WELCOME to all our new students. I hope you are all enjoying your first few weeks here. I know it can be tiring, making new friends, joining new clubs and trying to get all your homework done but please make sure to enjoy your time too!!

Speaking of enjoying oneself, this is the best time of year to sit back, relax and have a Hanami party : ) Around the world, Japan is the most famous country for its beautiful Cherry Blossom Tress (Sakura). Tourists come from all over the world to watch the beautiful pink flowers bloom across the country. We only have a few Sakura Trees in Ireland so I really think this time of year is magical!!

Hanami is wonderful but unfortunately this year the weather was not good. It rained most days and actually snowed. Snow in April, sure that’s crazy!! It is crazy, but because of Climate Change and Global warming, the climate and weather around the world is just going to get crazier.

Today, I want to tell you a few things that you can do to make sure the weather doesn’t get too crazy in the future;

1.    Always turn the light off when you leave a room.

2.    Turn the water tap off when you are not using it.

3.    Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!!

If everyone did these 3 things, we would be able to make a big change and make sure that we will have great weather for future Hanami parties: )

That’s all for today!                                               

Until next time, have fun: )
