At 8:30am,  7 HIC girls turned up at Domremy for their Orientation Day. First we had to get our name tags and the teachers and students had us sorted in to groups. There were the Red Teddy Bears, Green Teddy Bears, Red Butterflies, Green Butterflies, Red Roses, Green Roses, Red Angels and Green Angels.

After that, one of the teachers took us over to the senior block and we were tested for four hours. In between these four hours we had recess. The tests included: Problem Solving and Reasoning, Reading, Mathematics, Spelling and a writing test.

After lunch we got into our groups and we set off on a tour of the school. In some parts it looked old and in some parts it looked very new. After that we went back to the hall and our year 7 co-ordinator let us out, she stayed with some people who were catching the bus like me. There Motto is ‘ La Verite’ which in english means ‘Let the Light Shine True’.

He brought in;

 Shitajiki, a black, soft mat which provides a comfortable, soft surface to write on.

Bunchin, metal sticks to weight down the paper during writing.

Hanshi, special, thin calligraphy paper.

Fude, the calligraphy brushes. There is a larger brush for writing the main characters and a smaller one for writing the artist’s name. The small brush, however, can be used for the characters, too.

Suzuri, a heavy black container for the ink.

Sumi, the solid black material that must be rubbed in water in the suzuri to produce the black ink which is then used for writing but today we used “instant ink” in a bottle.
