10月28日（火）１年生は、長野市松代町にある松代大本営地下壕を見学しました。１年後の修学旅行では、広島を訪れます。広島での平和学習の事前学習として、地域の戦争遺跡から平和について学ぶことが今回の目的です。戦時中どのような目的でこの地下壕がつくられたのか、どのような労働が強いられていたのか、生徒は、ガイドさんの話を真剣に聞きながら、地下壕に残された爪痕から、当時の様子を考えました。また、松代大本営と沖縄戦との関わりや、その後の原爆や終戦への歴史も学びました。
On Tuesday, October 28th, first-year students visited the underground tunnels of the Matsushiro Imperial Headquarters in Matsushiro, Nagano Prefecture. Next year, they will visit Hiroshima on their school trip. As a preliminary study for peace learning in Hiroshima, this visit aimed to learn about peace through a local war site.Listening attentively to the guide, the students learned about why the tunnels were built during the war and the harsh labor that was forced upon the workers. From the traces left in the underground site, they reflected on what life might have been like at that time. They also studied the connection between the Matsushiro Imperial Headquarters and the Battle of Okinawa, as well as the subsequent history leading to the atomic bombings and the end of the war.
