According to NHK news web easy, the primary school in Komoro City in Nagano, is giving the lessons of how to grow rice at the paddy field. In winters, the neighbors and the school put water in a paddy field to make it frozen in order to make a skating rink. The size is approximately 30 meters x 10 meters.
At the end of the last month, the paddy field froze and was ready for an ice skating. This year, to prevent from spreading the covit 19, the lesson has been held by one class per a session.
The third year student said 「I have fallen many times but I was happy to have done the skating with everyone. It was so enjoyable that I did not even feel cold.」. The person who makes a skating rink every year said 「Just looking at the children skating I forget how hard it was to make the skating rink」.

長野県の小学校 田んぼでスケートの授業
[1月25日 12時00分]
長野県小諸市の小学校では、田んぼで稲を育てる授業をしています。冬になると、近所の人と学校が田んぼに水を入れて凍らせて、スケートリンクを作ります。大きさは縦30m、横10mぐらいです。
先月下旬、田んぼが凍って、スケートができるようになりました。今年は新型コロナウイルスがうつらないように、1クラスずつスケートの授業を行っています。
3年生の男の子は「たくさん転んだけど、みんなと滑ることができて、うれしかったです。楽しくて寒くありませんでした」と話していました。毎年、スケートリンクを作っている人は「滑っている子どもたちを見ると、大変だったことを忘れます」と話していました。
I was born in Komoro city. This article reminds me of my childhood. I used to do a skating on a paddy filed at the back of my school. To be honest I hate winters now, but it is very strange isn’t it when I was a child I did not even feel cold at all. The photo below was taken when I went back to my home town in January 2017. It was bitterly cold and snowed.

Thank you for stooping by. Arigato.
It is thoughtful to build the ice rink. Ice skating is a great way to enjoy the cold weather.
