• 2022.09.26Today’s Class 2

  

  Everyone had a great time in Class 2 today. After everyone arrived, we did exercise with Class 1, then had our Morning Meeting. We have begun Teacher’s Assistants, so everyone is excited to participate in Morning and Goodbye Meetings. We then did some number writing practice. Afterwards, we had Food and Life, where we learned about what different vegetables look like on the inside when cut open. We then used the vegetables as stamps to make colorful pictures. Soon, it was time for lunch. Everyone is doing very well putting away their own dishes after eating. The time went by very quickly, but everyone is already excited for tomorrow. What a great day! See you soon!

• 2022.09.22Today’s Elephant Class

  

  Today in Elephant class we were happy to see everyone after a week away. The children enjoyed helping Old McDonald with his animals. They could listen to the teacher, find the correct farm animal like “cow”, “duck”, “chicken”, cross a bridge, and put them in the farm field. We had lots of fun dancing and enjoyed eating lunch boxes at lunch time. Have a wonderful weekend and see you next time!

• 2022.09.21Today’s Bear Class

  

  Today in Bear Class the children had fun helping Old McDonald with his farm animals. We reviewed “cow”, “duck”, “chicken” and introduced “pig”. The children could each say “pig, please” and take them to the farm. But since we had so many animals, the farm was too crowded! Next, the children and their parents picked animals and put them in their own “fields”. The animals were happy and we ended by dancing along to “Old McDonald had a Farm”. It was great to hear the kids saying animal names like “cow” and their sounds like “moo”. Havea
  great week and see you next time, everyone!

• 2022.09.17Physical Festival

  
  

  今日は、農試公園のツインキャップでPhysical Festivalが開催されました。ツインキャップで行われるのは3年ぶりなので、初めての場所にワクワクどきどきしながら、保護者の皆さまと一緒に入場してきたお子さま達。ニコニコ笑顔だったり、緊張していたりと、1人1人の表情は様々でしたが、今日という日を心待ちにしていたことが伝わってきました。年少さんは、初めてのPhysical Festivalでダンスを覚えるのも、玉入れのルールも、かけっこをするのも初めてでしたが、一挙手一投足すべてが可愛らしく、伸び伸びと楽しみながら参加することができましたね。年中組は、昨年度は動画配信での開催だったので保護者の皆さまの前で披露するのは初めてでした。昨年と比べて難しくなった遊戯の振り付けに挑戦したり、かけっこ並びもしっかり覚えて、真剣に参加していましたね。年長組は、最後のPhysical Festival。チアダンス・フラッグダンス・かけっこ・リレーなど一番たくさんの種目がありましたが、素早く並んだり、体を大きくつかってダンスをしたりと、細部までしっかり確認しながら取り組んでいました。最高学年らしく、最後まで一生懸命取り組み本番を迎えることができましたね。どの学年も、大好きな家族の皆さまに見守られ、温かい応援を受けながら一生懸命頑張る姿は、とても感動的でした。最後に、全園児での”応援いっぱいありがとう”ではお客様に感謝の気持ちをこめて踊りました。閉会式では、ドキドキの結果発表。今年度は僅差でRed Starsが優勝、White Angelsが準優勝でした。どちらのチームも本当によく頑張りましたね。明日からの3日間はゆっくり休んで、水曜日からまた元気に登園して下さいね。本日は、たくさんのご声援をありがとうございました。

• 2022.09.16Today’s Clas 4

  

  Today was a lot of fun in Class 4. First we showed the “Happy” dance to the senior classes. Everyone did such a good job dancing! Them we wrote some letters of the alphabet. Today’s letter’s were U and V. The children could identify which words could be matched to the correct letters. After that we had some dance practise with the other Intermediate classes followed by hand bell time and game time. All the children were so kind to each other giving up their chairs during this game. This was followed by lunch and book time. Class 4 is very excited about the Physical Festival tomorrow and will do their best! Well done Class 4!

• 2022.09.15Today’s Class 9

  

  今日のClass 9は、みんなで秋刀魚をつくるCraftをしました。秋刀魚の形に丸めたコピー用紙を銀色の折り紙で包むと、秋刀魚の写真と見比べて「本物みたい！」と大喜びだったお子さま達。クレヨンで秋刀魚の体の色や模様を描いたり、目玉を貼ったりした後は、七輪を画用紙でつくり、美味しそうな炭火焼きの秋刀魚を完成させました。明日は秋刀魚を食べるみんなを画用紙で製作するので楽しみにしていて下さいね！Physcal Festivalに向けて、意欲がどんどん高まってきたお子さま達は、北風公園でのダンスやリレーの練習も一生懸命頑張っていました。「今日こそ勝つぞ！」と意気込みながら参加しているリレーでは、イエローチームが初めて１位になって大喜びするなど、勝つことを目標に、白熱しながら取り組んでいるお子さま達です。本番まで練習できる日はあと１日。みんなで力を合わせて頑張りましょうね！

  Today in Class 1 we had lots of fun even though it was a half day. Today was the first day for the Teacher Assistant’s to lead the Morning and Goodbye meeting, they did a great job leading the class. We hope other Class 1 friends will do their best when it’s their turn to be Teacher Assistant. Today we had our third English Activity for September. We went to the Vegetable Market to sell some vegetables. All Class 1 friends did a great job selling all the vegetables from Mr Farmer. After that we played a game called duck, duck, goose. Class 1 loves playing this game and had lots of fun chasing their friends round in a circle to get back to the place they were sitting.

  今日はPhysical Festivalの総練習でした。今までは各プログラムごとに活動を進めてきたので、当日同様の流れで全てを通して行うのは、今日が初めてです。年長組のチアダンスからスタートし、開会式では元気に入場行進をしたお子さま達。年長組のカップ返還や選手宣誓などを真剣になって見つめていましたよ。そして最初の競技はかけっこです。どの学年も1位になろうと一生懸命に走っていましたよ。そして次は各学年のダンスです。２学期に入ってから先生と一緒に少しずつ覚えてきたダンスでしたが、元気に手を振ったりジャンプをしたりと、すっかり覚えて上手に踊ることができましたね。その後も玉入れやリレー、全園児のダンスなどたくさんの種目がありましたが、どのお子さまも暑い中一生懸命に頑張っていました。本番まであと４日！“Red Stars”と“White Angels”、どちらが勝つのかドキドキですね！

  Today in class 8 we had a great day practicing for the Physical Festival with all the seniors. We went to Kitakaze park to practice the cheer dance, the flag dance and then we did the relay race. Everyone did a great job and tried really hard to get all the steps correctly in the dances. After eating the yummy school lunch, we had fun practicing the melodion and then we made a fun Chinese dragon craft. It was a little difficult to cut but everyone could make it and had lots of fun. Good job everyone today. We cannot wait to the Physical Festival rehearsal tomorrow!

  Today in Class 7 we had a fantastic day practicing for the Physical Festival. In the morning we did a short craft, writing our main goal for the Physical Festival onto the flags that will be displayed on the day. Next, we joined the rest of the school in the park to practice the ‘Opening Ceremony’ for the festival. Everyone did a great job with the cheer dance, followed by flag dance and relay practice. After eating our yummy packed lunches, we learnt all about tomorrow’s full moon viewing celebration and learnt that in China, they also celebrate the same day with their ‘Mooncake Festival’. Great job today everyone, see you all on Monday!
