Ducks @ 千里山田校



Rika is telling the kids a little about Tanabata and how they can make their wishes. They look pretty excited!
七夕のおはなしを聞いて、この後短冊を書きます!わくわく!



We were the first class to hang the wishes on the bamboo tree, awesome!
笹に短冊を飾りに行きました。ダックスクラスが一番乗りです〜!やったぁ!



On this day, we were designing hats for Tanabata and we really working hard to create a nice clean design.
七夕パーティーでかぶる帽子をデザインしました。



The hats are all done! Don't you think that our girls look really pretty in their newly made Orihime inspired hats?
完成!女の子の帽子は、織り姫をイメージしたデザインで、かわいいですよね?



The kids are working on their crescent moons! They are using paint for the first time. Even though it's the first time, they're doing pretty well, no?
三日月を製作中。このステキな水色は、それぞれ各自で色を混ぜ合わせて作りました。



The kids are using glitter for the first time! It flies all over the classroom, but it's still so pretty.
キラキラのグリッターは、クラスにたくさん飛び散ってしまいましたが、キレイに仕上がりました。

Tigers @ 千里山田校

Summer is officially here… and that means it is pool time!
夏がやってきた、という事は・・・プール遊び!!



Shota has been coming around to show us some really fun activities for the kids to play.
It has been a great help in teaching them to work together and find new ways to enjoy the water.
Shotaと一緒に水をつかって色んな遊びをしました。こども達にとってはとっても新鮮で楽しい時間です。



The pool gives us a great way to cool down as the weather continues to get hotter and hotter.



We utilize science to incorporate new and exciting ways to teach the kids about the world around them.
This month we have been working on space – and this week in particular we learned about gravity.
今月は「宇宙」がテーマでした。無重力について学んでいます。



We had 3 different activities that the children were given a chance to attempt to teach them about their own center of gravity.



They tried picking up a cup with their feet and backs against a wall, without bending their knees.
Then they spun around and tried to stand on one foot.
Last they had to try and stand up from a chair without leaning forward.
It was really fun and informative!
コップを膝を曲げずに足と背中を使って持ち上げてみたり、片足でバランスをとってみたり・・・
とっても楽しくて、ちょっと知的になったタイガースのこども達でした。

Koalas @ 千里山田校

The class were given a garfish to handle first so they could feel what is like.
クラスにサヨリ(ガーフィッシュ)がやってきました。こども達はサヨリを初めて触りました。



Next they cut up the fish and gutted it to have a closer look at all the different organs give them the ability to live in the oceans.
触った後は、サヨリの身体を観察します。どうやって海の中で生きるんだろう?
人と魚の器官や臓器との違いを確認しました。



The students made all types of transport to follow with the monthly theme.
次に月のテーマでもある、「乗り物」をコアラズは一生懸命作りました。



Then they added their own colour them to their trains ,plane and cars.
So we ended up with chocolate airplanes ,pre cure cars and tokkyuger ranger boats



The class has been doing different things using chopsticks for their fine motor skills.
お箸を使って丸く切った画用紙をつかむ練習です。片手は後ろ!難しいですね・・でも、こども達は真剣です。




First they started with marbles then they mover on to flat discs which in the final stage the could only use one hand and the other had to behind their back and they had to make a stack of ten high.

Turtles @ 千里山田校

今回は、ジムでのレッスンの様子を紹介します!
For gym class, Turtles first put on their gym shoes. We focus on developing independence. Go Turtles! You can do it!
まずは、自分でジムシューズを履く練習から。自立心を持ってもらうよう、タートルズは、自分で出来る事はなるべく自分でします。



O.K, we are going to walk and run around big circle with bowls. `Are you ready?' `Yes, we are!'
みんな、お話がしっかり聞けているね!



Let's sing 'Walking Walking' song! We walk, hop, and run!
お気に入りの歌を歌いながら、歩いたり、走ったり、ジャンプ♪



And then the music.....stops! Sit down everyone! We can follow an instruction very well!
 



O.K, then we pretend to be a giraffe, tall tall tall!
動物のまねっこをして歩いてみたよ♪ 首の長いキリンさん♪



Next, we played with hoops! We walked and run around hoops with music. When music stoped, everyone stopped and found a hoop.
We had so much fun finding hoops!

Flying like an airplane! 
飛行機のまねっこ♪ブイ~ン!





Hurry and find a hoop! 
フープを見つけて、中に入ってみよう!

Penguins @ 千里山田校



We made sun catchers to bring some of summer inside.
今日はサンキャッチャーを作ります。どんなものが出来るかな?



We brought flowers from home and ended up with a wonderful array of colors.
お家の人と探して色んな種類、色んな色の花をたくさん持って来てくれました。



After we had placed our flowers we put a frame around them.
フィルムの上にそれぞれ好きなように花をならべて枠を付けると出来上がり!



Once we were all finished we hung our sun catchers in the window so that the sun could illuminate our flowers.
窓に吊るすと、お日様の光を通してとってもきれい!みんな嬉しそうにしばらく眺めていました。
