Today in Class 8, we had a busy but fun day! We had lots of fun playing outside with friends and making snow houses. We learned about what we did over the holidays during our ECT time. Then we had fun with number print, which, everyone did great with. Before the English Recital Contest, we learned about the zodiac and which animal we were. After the Contest, we then played Karuta with the cards that we made in class. Great job today Class 8!

今日の年中組は、Snow topia２日目で、ゲームを２つ行いました。まず初めにBoysとGirlsに分かれてどちらが速くゴールできるかタイムを計りながら雪上リレーをしました！でこぼこの雪の上は走ることが難しく、転んでしまう子もいましたがすぐに立ち上がり、仲間の元まで一生懸命走りました！どちらのチームも接戦でとても良い戦いしたが、数秒の差でBoysの勝利！！年長組に進級して挑戦するPhysical Festivalのリレーに期待を膨らませるお子さま達でした。最後は雪の上にあるみかんをGet！Getしたみかんはクラスに戻ってから美味しくいただき、給食のと合わせたらフルーツが２つもあると大喜びのお子さま達でした。

今日は今年度最後の避難訓練で、ミサイルから身を守るための訓練を行いました。ミサイルが発射されたことが園内放送されると、教師の指示をよく聞き、地下へと避難しました。地下では、各クラスごとに集まり、静かに待機する真剣な姿が見られました。避難後には、学年ごとに分かれて、ミサイルについての話を聞きました。ニュースで北朝鮮の話や、Jアラートのことを知っていたお子さま達は、しっかりと教師の話を聞き、幼稚園外でもミサイルが来た時どのように行動すればよいのかを学んでいましたよ。今日で、今年度の避難訓練は終わりですが、今後も「おはしも」の合言葉や、災害が起こった時の避難の仕方を覚えていてくださいね。
今日は年少組Snow topiaというイベントで北風公園へ行きました。体を動かすための準備体操をした後は、雪の上で先生達と鬼ごっこをしました。最初は先生達に捕まらないように逃げて、２回目は子さま達が先生達を捕まえました。その後は、Mr.IanがPolar bearに変身！捕まらないようにお話を良く聞いて、ゴールまで走りました。今年は雪が少ないですが、雪の上で元気いっぱい走って笑顔がたくさん見られたSnow topiaになりました。今週はまた、Junior ClassのみんなでSnow topiaの時間があります！皆さん、楽しみにしていてくださいね。

Today in Class 7 we had a fun-packed day! We had lots of fun playing soccer in the snow and sliding down the hill on our sleds in the park. Next we starting making ogres for Setsubun, drawing and cutting out eyes, horns and face parts as well as painting the ogres pants. We then continued to illustrate our ‘Storybooks’ before eating our yummy lunchboxes. After lunch we had time to play with the original karuta cards the children all made yesterday. Thank you for another fun week and enjoy your weekend Class 7 friends.

Today in Class 6, everyone was smiling all day long. Our Teacher’s Assistants used a big voice and led the Morning Meeting well. After that, for Phonics Time, the children thought of 3-letter words with “u” in the middle. It was difficult to think of more words, but everyone spelled them very well! We did Line Work, writing ん and え. Then we went upstairs for a Music Lesson and practiced using Hand Chimes! Today was World Lunch. Our World Lunch was from Vietnam. We ate phở gà which is a type of chicken noodle soup. It was so yummy! We played in the Class 6 room during Discovery Time today. After that, we had our Goodbye Meeting. Finally, we went outside to play in the snow! The snow was very easy to build things with today! Many friends went sledding down the hill as well. It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day!

Today in Class 5 we started the day the fun way, by going to the park and using our sleds to go down the hill. Class 5 did very well getting all their snow gear on and getting ready properly for outside play. It was a lovely, sunny day and we had a great time playing in the snow. Then, we got to continue making our amazing Oni masks during crafts time. We made all kinds of Oni with different colours and different shapes and sizes of teeth, horns and eyebrows. Then, we tried them on to see how we look as Oni. We looked super cool! Afterwards, we had a yummy lunch that we brought from home. We love to eat yummy food and got to enjoy our lunch together. Finally, we cleaned up and then got ready to play. It was a really fun day and we worked really hard and did our very best. We can’t wait to play in the snow again! Way to go Class 5! Keep up the good work!
2025.01.21Today’s Class 4
Class 4 was so excited for our first day of outside play in the snow! We did our best putting all our snow gear on correctly by ourselves and did a great job. We had so much fun playing together, and it was nice run around outside in the fresh winter air. We went sledding and had a great time making all sorts of things with the snow. After getting some exercise outside, we were ready to do a number print. We impressed our teachers by writing numbers all the way to 50–wow! Today Class 4 also received a special surprise from IYK-kun for doing such an amazing job in their English Activity yesterday. He sent them super cool medals so they can get special stickers when they complete his special challenges. Class 4 did a fabulous job today and had lots of fun. We are so excited to see what the next challenge from IYK-kun will be!

今日の年長組は幼稚園最後の体育教室でした。まずは、準備体操をした後、兎跳びやライオン歩きなど、今まで何度も行った基本的な動きで体をほぐしました。その後は、鉄棒や跳び箱を行いました。「小学校に行って体育が楽しくできるように」と願いを込めて上手にできるコツをたくさん教えてくれたゆうか先生。お子さま達もその願いに応えるべく、真剣な表情で取り組んでいましたよ。今日が最後の体育教室であることを知ると、「ゆうか先生に会えないの寂しい！」「もっと体育教室したかった」と寂しそうなお子さま達。最後に記念撮影をした後、今までの感謝の気持ちを込めて大きな声でお礼を伝えました。ゆうか先生、お世話になりました。

Class 3 friends had a fun day today. Today there was a special meeting for the parents, so the whole kindergarten got to play together. It was wonderful to see children from all classes playing together and interacting with each other. Class 3 friends did origami, had spinning top battles, did jump rope and lots of other fun activities. After we cleaned up, we got today’s stickers for our sticker books. We had a yummy packed lunch, then went back to our classroom to do body measurement. We were pleased to see how much everyone had grown since the start of the 2nd term! As the day was winding down, we found a letter from Mr. Zookeeper, who invited us to his zoo and gave us zoo tickets. We can’t wait to check it out on Monday! Have a great weekend, and see you soon!
2025.01.16Opening Ceremony
今日は３学期の始業式が行われました。副園長先生からのお話で、３つのお約束をしました。一つ目は、冬支度はスノーウエアの着脱にブーツカバーや手袋の装着など難しい作業がたくさんありますが、まずは自分でやってみようとするなど自分でできることに挑戦してみること。二つ目は、たくさん食べてたくさん運動してたくさん寝ることで風邪をひかない健康な体を作ること。三つ目は、友達や先生、周りの人に自分から元気よく挨拶をすることです！３学期は短いですが、北風公園で雪遊びをしたり、楽しいことがたくさん待っています。来年度の進級に向けて、お子さま達が自信をもって様々な活動に取り組むことができるようサポートしてまいります。
