Today Elephant Class enjoyed their Halloween Party and everyone had such great costumes! We were so happy to see everyone and we took lots of pictures as we had fun throughout the day. The children helped use “magic” to make a key to open the Halloween box full of yummy cookies. The children could all say “trick or treat” and dance like Halloween creatures such as bats, skeletons, ghosts, etc. Have a wonderful Halloween and see you all next, next week.

2023.10.26Today’s Class 9
今日のClass 9は、Swimming lessonやEnglish playで行う”Little mermaid”のセリフ・歌を楽しみました。
Swimming lessonでは、”けのび”や”背浮き”に挑戦!以前は水に顔をつけることが苦手だったお子さまもいましたが、最近では「5秒つけてみる!」などと自分からチャレンジする積極的な姿が見られるようになってきました。また、プールが得意なお子さまは、「バタフライもできるよ!」「クロール上手だよ!」と、できる泳ぎを見せてくれ、みんなが「泳げるようになりたい!」と意欲を高めるきっかけになってくれています。レッスン最後のみんなで水遊びをする時間では、お友達と泳ぎ鬼ごっこをしたり、潜って遊ぶなど、体をいっぱいに使って楽しんでいましたよ!
午後からは、English playのセリフをMs. Riannaに教えてもらったり、明日つくる”紙皿ダイナソー”に使う紙皿に絵の具で色を塗ったりして過ごしました。Art Monthの絵画活動やHyogen Festivalに向けた活動、Halloween partyなど、心待ちにしていることがたくさんで、「あと〇〇回寝たらできるね!」などと、楽しみにしているイベントや活動までの日数を指折り数えているお子さま達でした。明日もEnglish playやMusicがパワーアップできるように、みんなで力を合わせて頑張りましょうね! -
2023.10.26Today’s Elephant Class
Elephant Class had so much fun at today’s Halloween Party! We were so happy to see all the children’s cute costumes. Thank you to the parents for all your preparation and hard work. The children could get cookies from a Halloween friend but first they had to use magic to make a key to open the box the treats were inside of. Everyone could say “trick or treat” and dance like bats, black cats, monsters, and more. In the end, everyone got cookies and were very happy. Great job and see you next week! -
2023.10.25Today’s Class 8
Today in Class 8 we practiced our lines for Hyogen Festival. Everyone was very excited to learn their character’s lines and the children were thinking very hard to add gestures as well. The children could also practice the play’s final song. Everyone is getting very good and they can already sing the song so well. Then it was time to go to Kitakaze Park to take our group picture with all the Seniors for this year’s photo album. The weather was very good and all the children were excited. The sun was shining very brightly in our eyes but we all did our best to give our best smiles. Then it was time to eat our yummy packed lunch box and to go back home after. Well done today everyone!2023.10.25Today’s Bear Class
Today the Bear Class parents and children had a “Halloween Party” and enjoyed a special Halloween-themed English activity. The children and some parents all wore such wonderful costumes. Everyone could help the witch use magic to make a key and open the box of yummy Halloween treats. Great job saying “trick or treat” and dancing like bats, black cats, monsters, and more. Have a Happy Halloween next week and see you soon!2023.10.24Today’s Class 7
Today in Class 7 we started by having tone chime practice in our music lesson. Yasue-sensei was full of praise for the children as they tried so hard to perfect their rhythm and timing. We then completed a katakana print, before starting a new craft. We painted paper plates last week and today we cut, drew and decorated the faces and wings to make owls. Next we used wool to thread through the plate to make the body of our owls. It was a little difficult, but everyone did so well weaving their wool in and out of the plates. Great job everyone.2023.10.23Today’s Senior・年少組園外教育
今日の年長組は『きのこCooking』を行い、School lunchに入れる舞茸を切る準備をしました。まず最初にきのこの『栄養素』や『種類』について知り、きのこは体にとって沢山の良いことがあることを知りました。きのこについて知った後は、手をしっかりと洗っていよいよCookingです!初めて舞茸を触るお子さまもいたようで、「こんな匂いするんだ!」「なんかふわふわしているね!」と五感を使ってCookingを楽しんでいましたよ。「この大きさならジュニアさんでも食べられるかな」などと、他のクラスの友達が給食を食べていることを考えながら心を込めてきのこを割いていたお子さま達。たくさんの舞茸の準備ができた後には、「Yummy!Yummy!Yummy!」と、ご飯が美味しくなるMagic wordを大きな声で唱え、「これでバッチリ美味しくなったね!」と大満足の様子でした。
ランチタイムでは、「これはぼくが割いたきのこかも!」とキラキラした目でランチに入っているきのこを見たり色々な種類のキノコが入ったスープからキノコを見つけて「このキノコはなめこだ!」と、きのこの種類についても関心を深める様子が見られましたよ!自分たちでCookingしたきのこは特別だったようで、いつもはきのこの苦手なお子さまも「なんかいつもよりも美味しいよ!」「きのこのスープおかわりする!」とたくさん食べていました!これからも、栄養たっぷりなきのこをたくさん食べて元気に過ごしましょうね!今日は年少組で秋を探しに円山公園に行きました。ずっと円山公園に行くことを楽しみにしていたお子さまは「今日は円山公園行くんだよね!」と朝から張り切って登園してきましたよ。出発前には公園に松ぼっくりやどんぐりなど様々な秋のものがあることを知り、ワクワクの気持ちいっぱいで出発しました。円山公園につくとさっそく秋探しが始まり、たくさん落ちているどんぐりを拾って「このどんぐり帽子かぶってるよ!」「小さくてかわいいどんぐり見つけた!」と袋いっぱいにどんぐりを集めました。また、大きな葉っぱを見つけたお子さまは「顔より大きな葉っぱがあったよ」とお子さま同士で伝え合う姿や葉っぱを仮面のようにして笑い合う可愛らしい姿が見られました。木についている葉っぱの色が少しずつ変わっていることに気づいたり、様々な木の実を拾ってたくさんの秋を見つけることができ、満足そうな年少組のお子さま達でした。自分達で拾ったどんぐりも「持って帰ってお母さんとお父さんに見せる!」と喜んで袋に入れて持って帰りました。2023.10.20Immersion Day 2
Today was the 2nd Immersion Day of the year and it was so much fun for everyone! We had a super fun shopping event, with the children either going to the 1st or 2nd floor. Everyone took it in turns to be shopkeepers and customers, and did a fantastic job using lots of english to buy the crafts everyone had worked so hard to make this month, “Welcome to the ___ shop, what do you want?” “May I have this one, please”. The Intermediates and Seniors did a great job taking care of their younger, Junior friends, escorting them to the lollipop, watch, bracelet, french fries, juice and microphone shops. We hope everyone had as much fun as the teachers did, and enjoy playing with their presents, wallets and money at home. Tremendous job everyone!2023.10.19避難訓練~不審者~
2023.10.18Today’s Class 2
Today was lots of fun in Class 2. It was a short day, but we managed to pack lots of fun into it. After arriving, Class 2 friends put on their hats and jackets and headed to Kitakaze Park to play. When we got back, we had Morning Meeting. Today’s Teachers Assistants did a really great job of leading the class and handing out stickers. Next, we made our wallets for Immersion Day, where we will do shopping with the other classes. After decorating them, everyone took turns choosing 6 dollar bills to put in their wallets. After that, it was time to get ready for the Goodbye Meeting. We had book time, then it was time to say goodbye! Thank you for a great day. See you tomorrow, everyone!
