• 2016.02.15Parents Teacher～Class 1～

  

  Today in Class 1 was the first day of ‘Parents-Teacher Week’. Today, 3 mummy’s came and showed the children how to make a super fun bear and orange game. The children first drew on their bear’s face and stuck it to a cup with a magnet. They next glued paper oranges onto 2 more cups and decorated them with crayons and stickers. All of the children were so excited to have Mummy’s in the class and listened very carefully and did a great job. After playing with their new craft they were treated to a really fun book about moving our bodies. Today was a fantastic start to the ‘Parents-Teacher Week’ and everyone is looking forward to the next Mummies coming to class on Wednesday! Thank you very much everyone!

  I thought everyone did an amazing job today for the contest! They gave such a good effort, and really tried to communicate with us English teachers. I can’t wait to see how much everyone improves when next year’s contest comes around! Great job!
  Mr. Jason

  The children did a really fantastic job speaking English at the contest today. They tried very hard to tell us about lots of interesting things, especially their favourite toys! The parents should be very proud of their excellent communication skills. Well done for a successful day!
  Miss Gerry

  It was a pleasure to witness some many children speaking English so fluently. I thought all the children describing their items in such detail was amazing. Everyone did amazingly and should be proud of themselves and the achievements.
  Mr. Norm

  I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and English ability of all the children that participated today. You should all be very proud of yourselves and I hope that you will keep using English more and more in the future.

  I was really impressed with how well all the students did today. They were able to speak quickly and correctly about a lot of different topics. Of course, all of the moms and dads should be so proud of all their hard work. I’m excited to see what they’ll be able to do next year!

• 2016.02.12Today’s junior class～北風公園

  

  　今日の年少組は、みんなで北風公園に雪遊びをしに行ってきました。いつも雪遊びを心待ちにしている年少組のお子さま達。「雪だるまつくろうね!」「そりたくさんしよう！」などと、友達と約束しながら楽しみにしていましたよ。今日の雪は、雪玉が作りやすい雪質でお子さま達はたくさんの雪玉を作りながら大喜び。小さな雪玉をころころと転がすうちに、段々と大きくなっていく様子を見て、「先生、こんなに大きくなっちゃった！」「重たいね！」と笑顔で教えてくれました。友達と協力して雪玉を転がしたり、組み合わせたりして思い切り遊び、外遊びが終わるころには、北風公園にたくさんの雪だるまができていましたよ。帰ってからは美味しいお弁当をお腹いっぱい食べ、大満足な年少組のお子さま達でした。

• 2016.02.10Today’s Class 8

  

  今日は卒園記念写真撮影日。スーツ、ドレス、袴と素敵なコスチュームを身にまとった8組さんは、朝から「わ～○○くん、かっこいい！」「○○ちゃん、可愛いね～」と言いながら、気分がワクワクしていました。しかし、いざ写真撮影台へいくと、すっと気持ちを切り替えて準備できるのも、さすがもうすぐ小学生の8組さん。服だけではなく、心もとてもかっこよく、みんな素敵な顔をして、写真撮影を終えましたよ。その後は、卒園式の証書の受け取り方の練習をしたり、卒園記念製作の絵本描きをしました。クラスにあるカウントダウン表は、日に日に日数が少なくなり、クラス活動も卒園の準備が多くなってきました。そんな中でも、昨日は年長組全員で転がしドッジボールをしたり、今日は9組さんのおばけやしきに招待されたりと、楽しいこともいっぱいです。残りの日々も元気に、楽しく過ごしましょうね。

• 2016.02.09Today’s Class 7

  

  Class 7 had a fun filled day today. Once everyone had arrived we had some Discovery Time where many of the children played at different stations. Some made origami, while others played with lego. After a music lesson with Yasue-sensei, Class 7 joined Class 8 and 9 to practice for their graduation ceremony. All of the children are getting very good at remembering what to do and when. After a very filling lunch, we began to write the final versions of our story books. The children were able to write their stories in English very nicely. I can’t wait to see them when they are finished!

• 2016.02.08Today’s Class 5

  

  今日の５組さんです。今日は、Swimming lessonの見学日だったので、朝から「お母さま達が来るのが楽しみだなー！」と期待している様子だったお子さま達。「いつも通りだけど、いつもよりももうちょっとだけ頑張ってみようね！」と話すと、「頑張るぞー！！！」と意欲的な表情を見せてくれました。Lesson中は、お母さま達が来て嬉しいような恥ずかしいような…照れながらも一生懸命に頑張っている５組さんの姿が見られましたよ♪Swimmingの後は、怪盗Xのプリント！今日の文字は、「わ」で、「わ」のつく言葉をたくさん考えてくれました！そして、俳句会に向けてあいうえお俳句の練習もしましたよ♪お休みのお友達も多かったですが、声をそろえて大きな声で発表してくれました！お待ちかねのランチ！「今日は少ないね。」「早くみんな来てほしいね！」と話しながら、今日は机をつなげてみんなで食べました！
  風邪やインフルエンザが流行ってきました。みなさんお気をつけてくださいね！明日も元気に登園してきてくれるのを待っています！

• 2016.02.05I.C.E.C.

  

  Today we enjoy the secrets of the Caribbean and the adventures that we had overseas. We talked about Calcite Clams of Florida and the hidden meaning for natives living there. We discussed what was found symbolic in both countries. I had a wonderful time and want to thank all the mothers who attended todays ICEC.

• 2016.02.04Today’s Class 4

  

  Today was a very fun day in Class 4. First was outside play with the other Immersion classes and Class 8. The children had a lot of fun riding their sleds and having snow ball fights. After morning meeting Class 4 got a letter from Hone who taught them a New Zealand song. Everyone did a good job in remembering the Maori words for the song. After singing we did some English writing and played some of the favorite games of Class 4, Cargo Train and the Stop Game. After a yummy lunch some of the children continued to practice writing English while others played with marbles. Overall it was a very pleasant day in Class 4.

• 2016.02.03Today’s Rabbit Class

  

  今日のラビットクラスは、「初めての雪遊び」と「豆まき」を行いました。雪遊び日和の中、そりすべりを何度も繰り返し、「今ジャンプしちゃった！」「もう１回やるー！」と雪山を登り続ける人、「先生！えーい！！」と雪玉をぶつける人、ふかふかの雪をずんずん進んでいく人等、時間いっぱい夢中になって遊んでいましたよ。お部屋に戻ってからは、事前に製作していたオニのお面をつけ、心の中にいる悪いオニをやっつけようと「豆まき」をしました。「オニは外ー！」「福は内ー！」とラビットクラスに元気な声が響き渡り、「もうオニはいなくなっちゃった～」とにこにこ笑顔のお子さま達でした。
