Deedee Deer class visits Morikoro Park

Last week the Deedee Deer students took a field trip to Morikoro park, an ecological themed park at the site of the Aichi Expo held in 2005.

Cutting bamboo at Morikoro park

One of the activities that we enjoyed was cutting through bamboo trees to make a telescope. It certainly looked easier than it was, but everybody tried really hard and eventually were able to cut through.

Inside there were plenty of things to do from watching a robot show to investigating all the nooks and crannies of the multi-level discovery area. After a picnic lunch we rode the giant Ferris Wheel which took 15 minutes and we had fantastic views of all of Nagoya. Unfortunately it wasn’t such a clear day so we couldn’t see all the way back to our school, but we still were able to see a lots of cool things.

Everyone was well behaved and we rode the Linimo, Japan’s first maglev train service on the way home. Everybody had a great time and we are looking forward to going somewhere again soon.
