• 2025.01.24Today’s Class 7

  

  Today in Class 7 we had a fun-packed day! We had lots of fun playing soccer in the snow and sliding down the hill on our sleds in the park. Next we starting making ogres for Setsubun, drawing and cutting out eyes, horns and face parts as well as painting the ogres pants. We then continued to illustrate our ‘Storybooks’ before eating our yummy lunchboxes. After lunch we had time to play with the original karuta cards the children all made yesterday. Thank you for another fun week and enjoy your weekend Class 7 friends.

• 2025.01.23Today’s Class 6

  

  Today in Class 6, everyone was smiling all day long. Our Teacher’s Assistants used a big voice and led the Morning Meeting well. After that, for Phonics Time, the children thought of 3-letter words with “u” in the middle. It was difficult to think of more words, but everyone spelled them very well! We did Line Work, writing ん and え. Then we went upstairs for a Music Lesson and practiced using Hand Chimes! Today was World Lunch. Our World Lunch was from Vietnam. We ate phở gà which is a type of chicken noodle soup. It was so yummy! We played in the Class 6 room during Discovery Time today. After that, we had our Goodbye Meeting. Finally, we went outside to play in the snow! The snow was very easy to build things with today! Many friends went sledding down the hill as well. It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day!

  Today in Class 5 we started the day the fun way, by going to the park and using our sleds to go down the hill. Class 5 did very well getting all their snow gear on and getting ready properly for outside play. It was a lovely, sunny day and we had a great time playing in the snow. Then, we got to continue making our amazing Oni masks during crafts time. We made all kinds of Oni with different colours and different shapes and sizes of teeth, horns and eyebrows. Then, we tried them on to see how we look as Oni. We looked super cool! Afterwards, we had a yummy lunch that we brought from home. We love to eat yummy food and got to enjoy our lunch together. Finally, we cleaned up and then got ready to play. It was a really fun day and we worked really hard and did our very best. We can’t wait to play in the snow again! Way to go Class 5! Keep up the good work!

• 2025.01.21Today’s Class 4

  

  Class 4 was so excited for our first day of outside play in the snow! We did our best putting all our snow gear on correctly by ourselves and did a great job. We had so much fun playing together, and it was nice run around outside in the fresh winter air. We went sledding and had a great time making all sorts of things with the snow. After getting some exercise outside, we were ready to do a number print. We impressed our teachers by writing numbers all the way to 50–wow! Today Class 4 also received a special surprise from IYK-kun for doing such an amazing job in their English Activity yesterday. He sent them super cool medals so they can get special stickers when they complete his special challenges. Class 4 did a fabulous job today and had lots of fun. We are so excited to see what the next challenge from IYK-kun will be!

  今日の年長組は幼稚園最後の体育教室でした。まずは、準備体操をした後、兎跳びやライオン歩きなど、今まで何度も行った基本的な動きで体をほぐしました。その後は、鉄棒や跳び箱を行いました。「小学校に行って体育が楽しくできるように」と願いを込めて上手にできるコツをたくさん教えてくれたゆうか先生。お子さま達もその願いに応えるべく、真剣な表情で取り組んでいましたよ。今日が最後の体育教室であることを知ると、「ゆうか先生に会えないの寂しい！」「もっと体育教室したかった」と寂しそうなお子さま達。最後に記念撮影をした後、今までの感謝の気持ちを込めて大きな声でお礼を伝えました。ゆうか先生、お世話になりました。

  Class 3 friends had a fun day today. Today there was a special meeting for the parents, so the whole kindergarten got to play together. It was wonderful to see children from all classes playing together and interacting with each other. Class 3 friends did origami, had spinning top battles, did jump rope and lots of other fun activities. After we cleaned up, we got today’s stickers for our sticker books. We had a yummy packed lunch, then went back to our classroom to do body measurement. We were pleased to see how much everyone had grown since the start of the 2nd term! As the day was winding down, we found a letter from Mr. Zookeeper, who invited us to his zoo and gave us zoo tickets. We can’t wait to check it out on Monday! Have a great weekend, and see you soon!

  今日は３学期の始業式が行われました。副園長先生からのお話で、３つのお約束をしました。一つ目は、冬支度はスノーウエアの着脱にブーツカバーや手袋の装着など難しい作業がたくさんありますが、まずは自分でやってみようとするなど自分でできることに挑戦してみること。二つ目は、たくさん食べてたくさん運動してたくさん寝ることで風邪をひかない健康な体を作ること。三つ目は、友達や先生、周りの人に自分から元気よく挨拶をすることです！３学期は短いですが、北風公園で雪遊びをしたり、楽しいことがたくさん待っています。来年度の進級に向けて、お子さま達が自信をもって様々な活動に取り組むことができるようサポートしてまいります。

  Today in Class 2 was so much fun. After Discovery Time this morning, we exercised, practiced English together, and danced to a Christmas song. We practiced matching uppercase and lowercase letters for Phonics Time. We finished Morning Meeting and had fun doing an English Activity with Mr. Nutcracker. We got to give his kids presents for Christmas and learned new words for the presents we were giving as well as some phrases to talk about where we were putting the presents. We did a super cleanup to get ready for Winter Break, and we practiced for the English Recital before having our Goodbye Meeting. Today was so much fun, and we learned a lot. Great job, everyone!

• 2024.12.18Today’s Class 1

  

  In Class 1 today, we had a lot of fun! It’s almost the end of the year, which means Christmas and New Year’s Day are really close. We have been making lots of crafts for Christmas and New Year’s Day, and today we finished making our New Year’s cards. We made cool green snakes on our cards for the year of the snake, and decorated them with plenty of stickers and glued paper. After we made our New Year’s cards, we had cooking time. We had delicious Christmas cookies with whipped cream and sprinkles. We had lots of fun putting the sprinkles on and using an animal cracker to top it all off. The cookies were so tasty, but we were still hungry for some lunch. Since today was packed lunch day, we got out our picnic sheets and sat on them instead of at the table. It was a lot of fun eating in a different way and getting to be next to all of our friends. It was a great day, and we had lots of fun. We can’t wait for tomorrow!
