• 2022.04.22Today’s Class 3

  

  In Class 3 today, we had a school tour challenge from IYK-kun. The children explored the first floor of the kindergarten and collected two stickers for their tour cards. On Monday, they will explore the basement and search for a special shiny sticker! In today’s English Activity, we reviewed patterns and colors by helping bunny hang up his socks. Class 3 also had a special phonics review activity. The children chose a vocabulary card and put it in either the A or B mail box. The children did a fantastic job at matching the starting sound of the card they had. So far, Class 3 has learned the letters A through D in phonics time!

  Today in Class 7 we had lots of fun with our brand new paints! Everyone listened so carefully to the instructions and could use their paint sets so well to create their Children’s Day craft. Today was also World Lunch and everyone was SO excited to eat everything and to get their first World Lunch Sticker of the year! There was enough time to play again after finishing lunch, before it was time to go home! It was great to see everyone again and the teachers had so much fun! See you tomorrow!

  Today was so much fun in Class 8! The children arrived with big smiles and played with their friends during Discovery Time. We were then able to do our morning exercise and calming time with our friends in Class 4. Before the Morning Meeting, the children had lots of fun during English Conversation Time (ECT), asking questions to their friends in English. During the Morning Meeting, we had lots of fun singing and dancing to the ‘Colours’ song! The children worked very hard completing lots of phonics challenges, spelling and reading words, and writing the missing letters. We also got a letter from the Queen with a special quiz, in which the children worked together with their friends to choose the longest river, the tallest building, and the highest mountains in the USA, Japan, and the UK. It was such an eventful day, and we look forward to having lots more fun tomorrow! Good job, Class 8!

  Class 2 children had lots of fun today. It was only our second day, but many friends are already learning some of the daily routines. After Discovery Time with Class 1, we cleaned up and exercised together. Then it was back to the classroom, where there was a letter from Mr. Panda. He gave the children some donuts to colour in with their new crayons. We found the crayons in a shiny box on the piano. Everyone did a great job colouring in their donuts. Before we knew it, it was time for a story book and the Goodbye Meeting. We all had a great day! See your tomorrow everyone!

  Today in Class 1 it was the first day of the school year. Some of the children were nervous but started to have fun after playing with new toys and making new friends during Discovery Time. We did Junior exercise time with Class 2 and Class 3 and all the children in Class 1 had a lot of fun doing the baby bot dance. After this we did our first Morning Meeting and all the children could get their first sticker in their sticker books. Next we did Physical Time where the students jumped off a box and balanced on a thin bar, all the Class 1 children did so well and had big smiles on their faces. We then went to the toilet for the first time and the children learnt how to wash their hands. We then read the Very Hungry Caterpillar and got ready to go home. Once we had done the Goodbye Meeting and sung the Goodbye Song it was time to get on the bus or go to the gate to get picked up. Class 1 had lots of fun during their first day at the kindergarten and are excited to see what will happen tomorrow.
