The room you study with other students is called “Kyoushitsu(classroom).”
In your school, there are various rooms other than classrooms.
The place where teachers assemble is called “Shokuin-shitsu(teachers’ staff room).”
In “Tosho-shitsu(library),” there are so many books.
“Ongaku-shitsu(music room)” is the room for playing musical instruments and singing songs.
When you draw pictures and make crafts, you go to “Zukou-Shitsu (arts and crafts room).”
In Zukou-shitsu, there are many tools to do that.
Today, we are going to talk about “Hoken-shitsu (nurse room).”
If you fall and get injured, or have a headache or a stomachache, you should visit Hoken-shitsu.
A school nurse is always in Hoken-shitsu. He or she kindly listens to you anytime.
In Hoken-shitsu, there are band-aids, bandages, medicine and so on. There are thermometers, height meters and scales, too. Also some beds.
When you feel sick, you can have some rest in bed. And when you feel better, you’ll go back to your classroom. If you don’t, you’ll go home. If you get worse, you may have to go see a doctor with the school nurse.
The school nurse will always help you figure out what is best for you. School nurses are the specialists in children’s healthcare. When you have any trouble in daily life or feel uneasy or anxious, you can talk to the school nurse anytime.
