  • 2023.06.15Intermediate Open Class

    Class 4: Today was the final Buzzy Bee New Zealand challenge for Class 4. After warming-up with some nursery rhymes and songs the children tried to complete the mission. We went to New Zealand and tried bungee jumping, walking over Taniwhas and the sky tower. The children also listened to the unique sounds of New Zealand animals to get the answer to the quiz and get a golden ball to put into the New Zealand box. However, there was one ball missing at the end! This was taken by the ABC Alligator. Everyone did a good job at thinking of words that starts with different letters. Class 4 got the final golden ball and were so happy to dance to do the kiwi! Well done Class 4 and thank you to all the parents and family members that watched today!

    Class 5: Today we had our last challenge from Jungle Jim! We first sang Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star with a beautiful and strong English voice and then moved on to our main activity. We helped Jungle Jim’s hungry animal friends gather and eat food from the jungle. However, the jungle was home to some dangerous things – so Class 5 had to transform into jungle animals first. This was so much fun and also gave Class 5 children an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of jungles and jungle animals, as well as demonstrate their English abilities. Once we helped the hungry animal friends, the children participated in Mr. Jeff’s Phonics Challenge. Class 5 showcased how many words they know for different letters of the alphabet and helped to count all of the words they had thought of at the end. After the children had completed the challenge, they were awarded with a crown for their animal headband and we all danced to the ‘Do The Animal’ song. Today was so much fun, thank you Class 5 for trying your best and thank you to the parents for attending and watching today’s Open Class!

    Class 6: Today Food Master needed our help to feed his animal friends. We started with a nursery rhyme and then the children took turns asking and answering questions about what they could do during English Conversation Time. Friends in Class 6 were able to choose the correct starting letter for the Animal Phonics. Next, Food Master came to visit and brought lots of fruits, vegetables, meat, and animal friends. We could match the food correctly, but then we played musical chairs and we got random cards! It was challenging, but Class 6 friends matched the food with the animals and it was so fun! After we showed Food Master and the animal friends our “Do The Animal” song and dance. We ended the class with the “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” song. Everyone was smiling and happy. You did it Class 6! Thank you parents for coming to see us today!

  • 2023.06.14Today in Class 7

    Today in Class 7 we first took care of our potatoes in the school garden, checking for weeds and giving them water. We then had a numbers lesson about time and how to read both digital and analogue clocks. After finishing our worksheets we then finished the day with English writing time, writing out the target question and answer for this week’s English Conversation Time phrases. Fantastic job everyone and lets have fun during tomorrow’s swimming lesson!
  • 2023.06.13Senior Open Class

    Today, Class 7 had their first Open Class of the year, with everyone doing a tremendous job in front of their parents. We first boarded a flight to Spain where we then completed another ‘Phonics Hero’ challenge. We then quickly reviewed some more countries in Europe, before pretending to be immigration officers, checking and stamping our friend’s passports, then putting their faces into the correct transportation and sticking the vehicle onto the European map. We are so proud of everyones hard work both today and during our build-up lessons. Thank you to all of the parents that could come to watch today and we are looking forward to learning lots more English and having much more fun throughout the rest of the year.

    Today Class 8 had a great Open Class! We started today’s lesson with a phonics puzzle. Some letters were a little difficult to find but everyone tried hard and we could solve the puzzle. We then discovered a letter from World Lunch-kun inviting us to a world lunch food party! After reviewing some continents and transportation vehicles, we sang a song to get more power for the activity! Then we started the main activity. Everyone tried to say the target questions and answering well. Today the children could travel to North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania using trains, airplanes, submarines, helicopters and ferries. All the children could find the correct continents and get some yummy food. We then ate the food that we collected and brought it back to the classroom after. All the children did well today and tried their best, especially that it is stressful to speak in front of so many people. We want to say a special thank you to all the parents that came to support us today. Well done Class 8! See you all tomorrow!

    Class 9のOpen Classでは、辞書マスターになるためのチャレンジを行いました。Mr. Dictionaryからお部屋に届いた挑戦で、5つのうち4つの辞書パワーを集めていたお子さま達は、「今日はどんなチャレンジが届くのかな?」とチャレンジを楽しみにしつつ「ママが来るから頑張らなきゃ!」と朝から意気込んでいました。みんなで暗号を解いたり、チャレンジの指令が入った箱の鍵を開けたりする時には、「これはひらがなの五十音だ!」「あ行の鍵穴には”いぬ”の鍵をつけたらいいんだよ!」などと、気付いたことをたくさん発言してくれ、チャレンジがどんどん楽しくなりましたね!「じしょようちえん」の迷子になった言葉達を辞書から探し出し、探した言葉の発表も元気にできました!チャレンジクリアしたClass 9は、今日から辞書マスター!マスターとしてこれからも色々な辞書引き活動に挑戦していきましょうね!
  • 2023.06.12Today’s Class 6

    Today was tons of fun in Class 6. Our teacher’s assistants helped us during the day and used big voices when speaking. In the morning we went to the IYK garden and learned more about growing green peppers. We removed weeds and watered our plants. After that, we practiced English and Japanese writing. Lucky-kun and Star-kun were happy with our writing. It was such a nice day, so we went to the park with junior and intermediate friends. It was really hot, but we had hats and water bottles. Playing tag, picking flowers, and making new friends was so nice! We can’t wait for tomorrow’s activities and fun. See you tomorrow!
  • 2023.06.09Today’s Class 8

    Today was a lot of fun in Class 8! We finished coloring our animal drawing. Some friends drew a giraffe, some a red panda, some an elephant and some a tiger. Then, we painted using so many colors! It was really great and everyone enjoyed painting. We then had our English Activity. Today we had to help Mr. Town fixing his town because of a typhoon that blew everything away. Everyone could ask and answer the questions and we had fun going around the classroom doing the helicopter or airplane to bring the things back to the right places. Then we all ate or super yummy packed lunch and after that, we did so many classroom games. Today was rainy so we could not go play outside but we could all enjoy doing so many fun things inside. We are all looking for Monday and our Open Class that is coming very soon. Have a great Weekend everyone!
  • 2023.06.08Today’s Class5

    We had a lovely day today in Class 5, packed with many activities and fun for the children. We started the day by going to the park and playing together in the sunshine – it was fun to race and play tag! After that, we came back inside and finished our Father’s Day presents to give to Daddy. Everyone tried so hard to make the best, cutest present possible to make Daddy happy. Next – after we finished eating a delicious lunch together – we jumped straight into today’s English Activity about jungle animals. Class 5 children are very intelligent and were able to listen to all of the hints given to work together and find the correct answers. Finally, as a reward for today’s hard work we played a fun English game all together. This was a perfect way to end the day on a high note, full of energy and ready for another day at Kindergarten tomorrow. Well done Class 5!
  • 2023.06.07

    Today in Class 4 everyone was so happy that it was Wednesday and we could dance to the Wednesday song. We also recieved a new challenge from the ABC Alligator and it was great to see all the children think of words that started with “O”. During English Conversation Time the children asked each other questions about their favourite vegetables. After that we heard from Kiwi that he wanted to create a special New Zealand dance. All the children could put in their own ideas and could make up very fun moves to the dance. This was followed by a food and life quiz about different food groups. Well done Class 4!
  • 2023.06.06Today’s senior

    今日の年長組はバスに乗ってMaruyama Zooへ行きました!行きのバスでは円山動物園に何の動物がいるのかクイズで考え、期待を膨らませるお子さま達。動物園に着くと、大きな声で飼育員さんたちに挨拶をしていましたよ。動物園ではお友達と手を繋ぎたくさんの動物に大興奮!「Giraffe!So big!」「Look!Elephant!」と英語で会話を楽しむ様子も見られました。明日描く動物園の絵で描きたい動物を何にしようか考え、「尻尾は2つの色に分かれているね」や「鼻はこんなに長いんだ」など、それぞれの動物にどのような特徴があるのかよく観察する姿が見られました。明日はどのような素敵な絵の作品ができるのか楽しみですね!
  • 2023.06.05Today’s Class 3

    We had lots of fun in Class 3 today! In our Physical Time, we all pretended to be different kinds of animals. We hopped across a mat like frogs, jumped through some hoops like rabbits, crawled across another mat like bears, and walk across balance bars like butterflies. Class 3 loves to imitate animals! We also went to Kitakaze Park today. Class 3 friends love to run around playfully and explore little findings such as sticks or bugs. For today’s main activity, we finished our Father’s Day craft. Class 3 really enjoyed using sponge sticks to paint the mugs for their daddys!
  • 2023.06.02Elephant Class Zoo Trip

    Elephant Class went to Maruyama Zoo and we had so much fun with children and parents. Thank you to everyone for coming today on our adventure. The children did such a great job walking around the zoo and finding animals on our sticker rally card. They saw monkeys, lesser pandas, elephants, giraffes, and more. They could all say “Sticker please” and we saw lots of happy faces. Well done, children. We’re so happy!
