Pre K @千里丘校

Our theme over the month has been 'Space'. We have talked a lot about the planets and their names as well as look at stars and comets. Today we decided to look at something that is closer, and more easily seen by us – the Moon.

We focused on the main the feature on the moon, which is the craters. The students were very interested by them and gave several reasons for why they were there. After reading some books about them we decided to make our own simple craters.
月をよく見ると、クレーターというのがあるんだね。
私たち、僕たちもクレーターを作ってみよう!

We chose some different sized balls/objects with different weights. As it was sunny we went outside to the sandpit to do our experiment.



First we found some sticks to draw our moon shape in the sand. Then we used the different balls/objects to create our own craters on our moons.
枝で描いてみたり、様々な物を落としてみたり・・・。







It was interesting to discover which ones gave us the best craters. After talking about it we all decided that the heavier the object the deeper and better the crater will be.
いろんな物を使って、実験した後にみんなで話した感想は
「重いボールだと深くていいクレーターを作れるね!」

KA & KB Sweet Corn Planting

菜の花プロジェクトも一段落し、空っぽになった畑に
みんなの大好きなSweet Cornを植えることになりました。

畝を作り、種を蒔く準備をします。


先日、オイルをしぼった菜の花の種の皮を肥料として再利用します。


両手で土の感触を楽しみながらの作業は自然とみんなを笑顔にします。









早く大きくなっておいしいcornが食べられますように…。
それまでしっかり世話をします!?
小さなfarmerたちの仕事ができました。
