Recently we celebrated Setsubun in Rabbit Class. From last week we heard rumours that a demon might be coming to Ishida Preschool, so in Rabbit Class we prepared by making our own special bean boxes, so we could throw beans and make the scary demon leave if one was to ever come to Rabbit Class. We practiced saying the important phrase that we need to say when casting away the demon in English, “Demon go away!”

While we were reading books in Rabbit Class, a demon came rushing in all of a sudden!! It was a very big demon, with curly red hair, horns and a big bat. But we already knew what to do. We grabbed our bean boxes and got to work making the demon and all the bad luck it brings leave Rabbit Class and Ishida Preschool for good.

Some of us played it safe by hiding under the table, but it was all very exciting and everyone had a very good time. Cal Sensei wasn’t in the room at the time and was very confused when he came back…I wonder where he went.

It was a very thrilling experience, and some of us spoke about how they remember doing the same thing last year so they weren’t scared…now we are even more prepared for if the demon decides to come back again next year!
