Geckos 高槻茨木校
Fun with Food!!!Hello again, and Merry Christmas to you!! We hope you are all keeping warm during this cold weather.In this episode, we would like to show you two of our food-related crafts we have recently completed. As you might remember, November was all about food and healthy eating, and the Geckos focused on learning about vegetables!
１１月は『食べ物』をテーマに、Geckosでも色んなクラフトに挑戦しました。
Firstly, thank you very much to our Gecko parents for supplying the vegetables we used for our vegetable stamp art - We had carrots, okra, sweet potato, broccoli and lotus root!
野菜スタンプでは保護者の皆様にご協力いただきありがとうございました。
We started by taking a closer look at the vegetables – What coloured is the carrot? Do you think the sweet potato will be heavy, or light? Is the okra soft or hard? What does the broccoli smell like? What shape are the holes in the lotus root? The children were fascinated with the different properties of each vegetable.
まずは本物のにんじん、さつまいも、オクラ、ブロッコリー、れんこんを観察します。
にんじんは何色かな？さつまいもは軽いかな？重いかな？オクラは固いかな？柔らかいかな？ブロッコリーはどんな香りがするかな？れんこんにはどんな形の穴があいているかな？子ども達は興味津々です。
We donned our smocks and got to work! The children were free to choose which vegetables to use, and enjoyed experimenting with the different shapes and patterns that emerged from their white sheets of paper.
好きな野菜を手に取り、絵の具をつけてスタンプ開始！野菜のお腹はどうなっているのかな？白い紙に色んな野菜の形が浮かび上がります。
As they experimented they talked about what they were seeing. The carrot made a round shape, eliciting cries of “circle!”, the okra evoked responses of “star!” and “flower!”. We also used different coloured paints to what we usually use, creating magnificent artworks, reflecting each child’s likes and preferences.
子ども達はにんじんのスタンプのあとを見て"circle"と言ったり、オクラのあとを見ると"star"や"flower"と興奮ぎみに教えてくれました。この日は普段あまり使わない色の絵の具も使いました。様々な色で様々な野菜の形が浮かび上がった素敵な作品に仕上がりました！
To continue with our theme of health eating, we made salads like the ones we have in our lunch boxes each day.
この日は園のランチなどでも子どもたちに馴染みのあるサラダを作りました。
Jacki and Eri prepared some tomatoes (red circles), carrots (orange triangles), cheese (yellow squares – some children said it was pineapple), broccoli, and white radish, and the children chose what they liked for their salad and glued it onto their plate. They used scissors to thinly cut some green tissue paper to make cabbage, then drizzled some special dressing, mixed from yellow paint and glue, on top to create….
まずは紙皿全体に筆を使ってのりを塗ります。用意された緑のティッシュペーパーでレタスを作ったり、紙で作ったトマト、ブロッコリー、にんじんなどを紙皿に貼りつけていきます。ハサミを使って黄緑色の紙を薄く一回切りしてキャベツを作る子ども達もいました。それぞれの好きな野菜を貼り付け、最後にドレッシングとして黄色の絵の具を少し混ぜたのりを上からかけると…
…delicious paper salads!!! They look so real, almost good enough to eat!
…Geckos特製スペシャルサラダの完成です！
We hoped you enjoyed our blog for this month.Merry Christmas to you all, best wishes for a wonderful festive season, and have a very Happy New Year for 2013! We look forward to seeing you all again next year!!

Zebras 高槻茨木校
Zebra’s Community Lesson
This month we decided it would be really great to revise places within our community. And have fun while we learn!
Zebrasでは自分たちの身の周りのコミュニティーについて話し合った後、皆で町づくりをしました。
First, we remembered and learnt new names of different places we go to.
最初に色んな場所の名前を覚えたよ！
We all had turns deciding where to put the different places.
“Should we put the flower shop near the park?”.
“No, let’s put it near the bridge!”, etc.
We all stuck two places to the big community map.
みんなで話し合って町づくりです！どこにしようかな？
Then we each chose a truck for driving around our new community.
“I’m going to the hospital!”
“I’m going to the supermarket!”
自分の車を選んで出発！『ボクは病院に行くね。』『わたしはスーパーマーケット！』
Where are you going, Zebras?
Zebrasどこに行くの？
Our favourite words in Zebras is
“I like EVERYONE”. Let’s play together Zebras!
Zebrasの大好きな言葉は『I like EVERYONE』 一緒にあーそーぼ！！
We had lots of fun and we learnt so much about places in our community!
