• 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!

  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!

  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!

  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!

  The Elephant Class children and parents went to Maruyama Zoo today. We all had so much fun and it was such a beautiful, sunny day. We could see many animals while doing a sticker rally. We saw monkeys, lesser pandas, elephants, giraffes, and more. The children could all say animal names and “sticker please.” Everyone did such a good job walking and exploring the zoo together.

• 2023.05.31Today’s Class 2

  

  Class 2 had a great day today! It was a short day, but we managed to fit in lots of fun activities. Once many friends had arrived, we got our hats on and headed to Kitakaze Park. The children marched very nicely and could play with friends from all grades. Everyone had fun running around and picking flowers. When we got back it was time to do Morning Meeting and Phonics Time. Today we tried out the ‘Big Voice Stage’ and many friends could say the vocabulary words with a nice big voice. Lastly, we got out the mats and everyone moved like rabbits, bears and seals down the mats and hit the tambourine with a big high five. Before we knew it, it was time to clean up and go home. We had lots of fun today, and look forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow!

• 2023.05.30さとらんど

  

  今日の年長組はみんなでバスに乗りさとらんどへ行き、サツマイモの苗を植えてきました。バスの中ではクイズや、絵本でサツマイモのことや、園庭に植えたジャガイモとの違いについて知り「早くサツマイモを植えたいな！」と楽しみにしながらさとらんどへ向かいました。さとらんどでは、葉の方向や、土の被せ方を教えていただき、丁寧に苗を植えていましたよ。普段なかなか触らない畑の土にたくさん触れ、感触を楽しんでいました。最後には、”Grow!Grow!Grow!”と大きく育つようにパワーを送ってきました。帰りのバスでは、「早く秋にならないかなあ」とすでに収穫を楽しみにしているお子さま達でした！
