Pre-K Jr. 千里丘校

遅くなってしまいましたが、サマーフェスティバルの売上げで購入させて頂いたおもちゃをご紹介します!
An imagination center( or a dress up corner) is a good way for children to develop many skills. Not only do they learn to dress themselves, they learn to role play and express themselves in order to develop their social skills.
創造ごっこ、衣装ごっこなどのごっこ遊びは、こども達の色々な技術を発達させてくれます。自分達でドレスの着脱をするだけではなく、ごっこ遊びを通して自分自身を表現し、社交性を高めます。

It doesn’t need a lot but, in Junior Class, we needed a center renovation. We got new boxes, costumes, clothing, hats and tools to allow us to role play and pretend to our heart’s content.



We are checking ourselves out in our mirror, making all sorts of fashion choices and role choices.
鏡の前で自分を眺めたり、自分で服を選んでみたり…。






We are even making up different play situations like making our teacher become a patient at the hospital. “I’m a doctor.”
時には先生を患者にして「僕が、私がお医者さんだよ。」


We will really enjoy our new center! THANK YOU!!
保護者の皆様にご協力頂いたおかげで、楽しい時間が増えました!本当にありがとうございました。

Pre K 千里丘校


After learning about the different food groups the class was given their own pictures of the food pyramid and had to work out where to put the pictures that they had cut out from food pamphlets. The idea behind this craft was to learn about the groups of food and also to have the class use the target language and ask each other questions about the foods that they like.
前回のブログ「The Food Pyramid」の続きで、今回はPre K Food Pyramidを製作しました。自分達で切った広告の紙を分類わけ。野菜、果物、油もの、主食、お肉、魚の6つのコーナーに分けました。




When we finished the pyramid we placed it on the wall so the class can use it each day at lunch time to work out what food groups are in their lunch.And how own lunches change each day.
見本のFood Pyramidを参考にしながら、Pre KのFood Pyramidを完成させました。ランチタイムには壁に貼ってあるピラミッドを見ながら、食べ物への興味を高めている様で "It's yummy!" と嬉しそうに食べる姿がよく見られています。




This craft was a hard one for the the class is consisted of using tissue paper and glue at the same time which at the start most of the students had trouble with but after a little trail and error the over come the task before them.It took along time to finish the craft but the at the end they all said they enjoyed using their hands this way.
フラワー紙をちぎり、お花にのりづけ。指先をたくさん使う作業で時間はかかりましたが、根気よく最後まで取り組んでいました。



The craft was to decorate one for the house for the Christmas show after finishing the house they were determined to use it for a rehearsal so the could see what it looked like standing behind it.
出来上がったカラフルなお花はみんなが毎日頑張って練習しているX'mas Showの劇の背景に使われる予定です。大好きなお家の人にみてもらうのをとても楽しみにしています。

KA Dolphins Christmas Stockings!



To get into the Christmas spirit, KA decided to make Christmas stockings! We first talked about what stockings are used for on Christmas, and then looked at pictures of stockings.After that, we drew an outline on two sheets of red paper, and then cut them.
サンタクロースから大きなプレゼントを貰えるように、大きな靴下を作りました!



Secondly, we put holes around the edges, so that we can weave them together with strings.
紙を切った後、周りに穴をあけ毛糸でデコレイト!



This was the fun part! Because students are new to the concept of weaving and tying, they all made it special in their own way, and it was good practice for their coordination skills.
今回は子ども達が編みたいようにデコレイトしました。順番に編んでいく子どもや、反対側の穴と交互に編み毛糸でシマシマ模様を作る子どもなど様々でした♪





There were so many different patters and ways to weave!



After finished weaving, children decorated and colored their stockings with colored pencils. Some chose a Christmas theme, while others drew pictures of things they love.
編み終わると、次は色鉛筆で靴下に絵を描きました。



A stocking is not complete without some cotton on the top! So students first took their glue and put it on the top edge, or....
靴下には綿はかかせません!



They put it all over the stocking!!Children had fun with this craft as they were allowed to make it any way they felt. And they all look wonderful!
子ども達それぞれがサンタクロースにプレゼントを入れてもらえるように考えて靴下を作りました!大きい靴下から小さな靴下、綿を散りばめた靴下まで様々な靴下が出来上がりました!
Merry Christmas from KA Dolphins!
