We had lots of fun in Class 5 today. After everyone arrived and we had Discovery Time, we did our exercise and practiced our Physical Festival dance with Class 4. We had Morning Meeting, then it was time for an English activity. Today we went to Action Park, where the children asked each other questions about what sports actions they can do, such as “bounce a ball” and “hop on one foot.” Then we did a group phonics activity where the children worked in teams to choose the correct first letter for some new words. Then it was time to head over to Kitakaze Park to practice our running race, and to the IYK grounds to practice our dance. Everyone did a great job! Finally it was time for lunch and some Discovery Time before the Goodbye Meeting. See you tomorrow everyone!

2021.09.10Today’s Class 4
Today was a lot of fun in Class 4. We had a special English activity where the children tried different types of sports. There was also time for English writing and everyone is getting much better at writing short words and sentences. This was followed by a trip to Kitakaze park where everyone did their best in the running race and dancing to dynamite. After this we had a lot of fun playing in the park searching for signs of autumn such as insects and leaves. We returned to the Kindergaten to have lunch and spend more time playing together. Well done Class 4! -

2021.09.08Today’s Bear Class
Bear Class was lots of fun today. We could dance and sing and do an activity about farm animals. The children did such a good job saying animal names like “cow” and “sheep”. They could also pretend to be those animals while saying “moo”, “baa”, and more. Mommies picked one animal and the children tried their best to find the matching baby animal. We all sang “Old McDonald had a Farm” too. Excellent job as always everyone! See you next week. -
2021.09.07Today’s class 2
今日も元気に登園してきたClass 2のお子さま達。今日の最初のスケジュールは、2学期から取り組んでいるみんなの大好きなDanceでした。キラキラのShiny stickを両手に、左右に振ったりクルクル回したりと、少しずつ覚えてきた踊りを楽しそうに踊っていましたよ!その後はいつも通りのMorning Meetingです。9月からTeacher’s Assistantの活動が始まり、毎日2人ずつ順番に小さな先生になってMorning Meetingを進めてくれています。今日も英語のフレーズを使いながら日付を確認したり、Sticker book timeには一人ひとりにシールを渡す役割もしっかりと果たしてくれました。午前中は少しだけcraftを楽しんでから、北風公園へ出発!1組、2組、3組が揃い、かけっこを行いましたよ。ホイッスルの合図で6人ずつスタートし、元気いっぱいゴールまで駆け抜けたお子さま達。ゴールした後に並ぶ場所もしっかりと覚え、しゃがんで友達を応援することも忘れませんでしたね。最後は、グラウンド中央から端のフェンスまで、Class 2のみんなで「よーい、どん!」。たくさん運動した後は、「お腹空いたー」とみんなお腹がペコペコのようでした。今日も1日元気に過ごし、最後はTeacher’s Assistantの二人がGoodbye Meetingでしっかりと締めてくれました! -
2021.09.06Today’s Class1
今日は北風公園でPhysical Festivalのかけっこの練習をしました。初めてのグラウンドでの練習に少し緊張しながらも、「1番になるぞ~」「速いから見てて!」などと気合十分。並び順をおぼえて元気に走ることが出来ました。練習の後には北風公園で追いかけっこをしたり、“だるまさんが転んだ”をしたり虫の観察をして楽しく過ごしました。元気いっぱい遊んだ後は、おいしいランチタイム!おかわり分がなくなるほどみんなの食欲は旺盛でした。ランチの後は、それぞれに粘土をしたり、ブロックやミニカーで家をつくったり、何人かの友達と協力しながら積み木でドミノを並べて大興奮のお子さま達もいましたよ。明日も元気に遊びましょうね! -
2021.09.03Today’s Elephant Class
The Elephant Class children had a wonderful time together today. It was the first day of classes in the second term and we missed everyone. Today we picked tomatoes from our tomato plants since they grew so big over the summer vacation. Some children picked red tomatoes and some picked yellow ones. After we washed them, the children enjoyed eating them during lunch box time. Some children ate many, many tomatoes and were so happy! Great job today everyone. We are so happy you’re back and we look forward to lots of fun in the second term. See you on Tuesday! -
2021.09.02Today’s Elephant Class
Today we had Elephant Class for the first time this term. We were so happy to see all the children and enjoy the day’s activities. Over the summer vacation, our tomato plants grew really tall and there were so many red and yellow tomatoes on their vines. Every child could pick one and then we could eat them with our lunch boxes during lunch time. Many friends said they were “yummy”! Thanks for coming today and we are looking forward to seeing you all on Monday. -
2021.09.01Today’s Class 9
今日は北風公園で年長組で集まり、リレーの練習をしました。自分のチームカラーや走る順番、ルールが分かるようになってきて、勝敗にこだわりながら取り組む様子が見られるようになってきました。明日もリレーの練習をすることを伝えると「頑張るぞ!」とやる気十分だったお子さま達です。本番に向けてみんなで力を合わせて頑張りましょうね!
お部屋に帰ってからは、みんなでお弁当を食べたり、カプラで遊んだりして楽しく過ごしました。カプラコーナーでは、どんなタワーをつくろうかと試行錯誤しながら遊ぶ姿が見られ、作品もどんどんレベルアップしています。友達と協力してお城のような作品をつくりあげると嬉しそうに見せてくれたお子さま達でした。明日も元気に遊びましょうね! -
