September 1st is Disaster Preparedness Day- 防災の日.

You are never too young to be prepared, especially in earthquake-prone Japan.

This year we participated in Shake Out Aichi, and learned the 3 moves Drop! Cover! and Hold on! to keep safe.

Then at 12:00 sharp we all participated by simulating an earthquake at the school- the students did so well remembering the three simple steps.

We also discussed what would happen if we had to evacuate the school and how to do so safely.
