  　今日の年中組は、園庭でピーマンの苗植えを行いました。前日のFood＆Lifeで、ピーマンマスターになるための紙芝居を通してピーマンの育て方や栄養についてを知り、今日の苗植えに期待を膨らませていた年中組のお子さま達。栄養たっぷりの少しひんやりした予想外の苗の感触に「あっ」と目をまるくするお子さまもいましたが、植える時のお約束を思い出しながら、無事に苗植えを終えることができましたよ。最後は‟Grow Grow Grow”のマジックワードをピーマンに届け、「私はちゃんと雑草抜くよ」「お水あげなくても大丈夫かな」「早く食べたいな～」などと、ピーマンのお世話を張り切るお子さま達でした。

  Today in Class 1 we wanted to go outside! It was a little cold, but we put on our jackets and took a walk. The park was beautiful and we saw big trees and new flowers growing. We had a great time walking around with our friends. After our walk, we all sat down and read a book together. We heard about a very hungry caterpillar and what he ate each day. Everyone did a great job today. We’re excited about tomorrow!

  今日の年長組は、園庭でジャガイモの種芋植えを行いました。まずは、クラスで「何種類のじゃがいもがあるのか」などのクイズを行いました。じゃがいもが５０００種類もあることを知ると、「じゃがいもって１つだと思っていた！」と驚いた表情のお子さま達でした。実際に写真で何種類ものジャガイモを見て「まるで、ヘビのような形だね！」「今日はこのなかのどれを植えるのかな！と期待に胸を膨らませていましたよ。菜園では、市野渡先生から「これはメークイーンという種類だよ」「土のお布団は優しくかけてね」などと丁寧に教えてもらい、一生懸命植える姿が見られましたよ。全員が植え終わると「Grow !Grow!Grow!」と大きなジャガイモが育つようにおまじないを唱えました。教室に帰ってからは、Potato Diaryに絵や「We planted Potatoes」の文章をかきました。「いっぱいお世話して、大きなジャガイモを育てたいな」「8月に収穫するのも楽しみ！」と気合い十分なお子さま達でした。
