  • 2022.06.14Senior Open Class

    Today was the Senior Open Class day. Class 7 received 3 space challenges from Captain Planet to be able to get their ‘Space Ranger’ badges. They could all put the planets in order of size, from biggest to smallest, as well as arrange them by temperature, ordering them from hottest to coldest. The final challenge was to play a special Top Trumps card game together. Everyone could overcome their nerves to be able to speak in front of their parents and use large, confident voices to complete the challenges. Great job everyone and thank you to all of the parents that visited today to show support for your children.


    Class 8 went to space in another exciting English activity with Doctor Planet!
    Last week, all planets disappeared into a black hole, so Class 8 learned about planets and created new ones using what they had learned. Today, students traveled to space with them! Once we arrived in space, Class 8 gave fantastic presentations to the class and parents. Students were able to use phrases like “It has” as well as “It’s bigger than ___” in order to describe their wonderful planets.
    Doctor Planet was so pleased, he may ask for more help from Class 8! Well done everyone and thank you to the parents who visited to support their children today.

    Class 9の参観日は、俳句のチャレンジに挑戦しました。みんなの俳句の実力を試すためのチャレンジを届けてくれる魔女のハイックさんからの手紙で、いつも詠んでいる俳句の季語がバラバラになってしまったことを知ったお子さま達。みんなでバラバラになった季語を探す時には、暗号を解くためのヒントを考えてアイディアを出す姿が見られました。有名な俳人をよく知っているみんなは、季語が隠されているBOXも軽々開けることができましたね!
    グループの友達と話し合いながら季語を取り戻し、元気に発表してくれた9組さんでした。明日からは、ハイックさんがプレゼントしてくれた夏の俳句を詠みます。どんな言葉が出てくるのか、楽しみにしていてくださいね!
  • 2022.06.13Today’s Elephant Class

    Today’s Elephant Class was really, really fun! It’s just the second week of children coming for full days by themselves but they all did such a good job. We could play lots together, have fun in English, and eat school lunch. For today’s English activity, the children went looking for apples. When they found a big apple tree they could ask, “Apple, please?” and get it. Many children were excited to hold the apples and pretended to eat them enthusiastically. As the children continue to get more comfortable, we can have more and more fun and see lots of smiles. Good job everyone! See you on Thursday.
  • 2022.06.10Today’s Class 9♩

    今日は日本で初めて時計による知らせが行われたことを記念して制定された「時の記念日」。9組さんでは、時計をつくる製作を行いました。”時計のうた”を歌うと「大人の針は足が速いんだね!」「子どもの針はゆっくり歩いててかわいいね!」などとイメージを広げて楽しんでいたお子さま達。みんなで時計の文字盤に数字を書く時には、時計の針がどちらの方向に進んでいくのか考えながら書く姿が見られました。また、折り紙や星のシールで飾り付けした時計が完成すると、「今は永い針が11で、短い針が5だ!」と針をセットしたり、「寝る時間何時にしようかな?」と、友達と時間を考えたりしながら遊んでいたClass 9です。午後からは毎週楽しみにしているグループ活動!それぞれの場所で、レベルアップを目指して一生懸命に練習していましたよ。来週の月曜日は、俳句が大好きなお友達からチャレンジが届く予定です!みんなで協力して、クリアを目指しましょうね!

    Today in Class 7 we had swimming. It was so impressive to see the children’s confidence and to see them challenge themselves to improve their swimming abilities. After getting dry, we had English Conversation Time, followed by today’s yummy noodle and dumpling lunch. Before going home we had time for a Japanese book and short discussion about the overnight stay coming up towards the end of the month, ‘Adventure Quest’. Fantastic job today everyone.
  • 2022.06.08Today’s Class 6

      今日のClass 6は、仲良しの友達と一緒に色々な活動を行いました!最近クラスで1番人気の「あぶくたった煮え立った」のわらべうた遊びでは、お鍋になった友達を「むしゃむしゃむしゃ」と味見したり、晩御飯やお風呂に入るジェスチャーが面白くていつも大笑いのお子さま達。「もう1回やろう!」と夢中になって遊んでいました。『ぴかぶー』が準備してくれた「数プリント」は、今日から穴埋め表にレベルアップ!空欄に当てはまる数字は何かをよく考えながら真剣に取り組んでいましたよ。ハンドベルの曲は、『かえるのうた』をクリアしたので『メリーさんのひつじ』に挑戦中♪音名で歌うことも上手なClass 6のお子さま達は、すぐにこのメロディーが大好きになり、とっても楽しそうに演奏することができました。
  • 2022.06.07Today’s Class 5

    We had a great time today in Class 5! We started the day with swimming, every week the children get more skilled at swimming and really enjoy every lesson. After that we came back upstairs and finished part 2 of our Father’s Day craft activity – we are making Father’s Day belts. When we finished our craft activity we got ready for a big lunch of chicken nuggets to get our energy back and enjoyed playing together, solving puzzles, drawing and building with lego.

    Today was a lot of fun in Class 4. First we went to Kitakaze park to play outside. A lot of children had fun making their own beaver houses in the park. We returned back to Kindergarten and we received another letter from the Earth Ninja. After learning about recycling we received a new Earth Ninja challenge. Class 4 had a lot of fun making parachutes and dropping them from different heights into a target. We followed this up with some Japanese writing and a yummy lunch which all the children enjoyed. Class 4 really enjoyed their Monday and are looking forward to swimming tomorrow.

    Elephant Class had so much fun at Maruyama Zoo. We were happy that the weather was nice and everyone could come. The children could see many animals. We saw kangaroos, monkeys, lesser pandas, elephants, and more. They were really interested in the animals and looked very carefully. A family of monkeys even began talking when we were nearby. It was very cute! The children could repeat the animal names and everyone got stickers too. We walked all around the zoo and at the end the children got a yummy present. Great job everyone and we had so much fun. See you back at school on Monday!
  • 2022.06.01Today’s Bear Class

    Bear Class was so much fun today! The children did so well playing nicely and everyone is so friendly. Today’s activity was about colors. The children could practice saying “red”, “blue”, “yellow”, and “green”. They listened carefully and went to the same color house that the teacher said. Then, puppets came out and the children walked around the room like elephants, rabbits, and dinosaurs. It was so nice to hear many voices and see lots of smiles. Good job everyone! See you next week.
