The third day's itinerary for P.6 STEM Educational and Cultural Exchange Tour:

Students visited Shuri Castle, a Ryukyu-style castle east of Naha City, on our first stop. It was built between the late 13th and 14th centuries. From the 15th to the 19th century, it was the capital and royal palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom. It has a history of more than 500 years. Students learned about the architecture and historical culture of the Ryukyu Kingdom. On our second stop, students went to the Wonder Museum, where they learned about science and nature through various interesting and novel interactive games. For lunch, students enjoyed Okinawa ramen, a local speciality. At the third stop, the students visited Hanezi primary school to conduct various cultural exchanges with local elementary school students. The local students welcomed us very warmly. We attended classes and participated in various sports activities with the students, allowing the students to feel and understand the local unique campus culture and curriculum, and also enhanced the friendship between the students and the local students. Dinner was a Japanese barbecue with local characteristics. The students returned with full stomachs, which marked a perfect end to the day.
(Since Okinawa Primary School prohibits outsiders from taking photos due to the right of portrait, there are no photos at the moment. However, Okinawa School has arranged a designated person to take photos, which will be sent to the school later for parents to view.)
