2020.11.06Today’s Class 3

今日の３組さんはEnglish Lessonがありました。Hyogen Festivalに向けての活動が本格的になった今月から、年長組のEnglish PlayのサポートをしているMiss. Dorothyとたくさんの英語に触れながら、笑顔で取り組んでいたお子さま達。数日ぶりに一緒に過ごすことが出来て嬉しそうでした。Lessonの後は、Hyogen Festivalに向けての活動の時間。お部屋の床に貼られたカラーテープの色を見て自分の立つ位置や登場の仕方を確認し、それぞれの役になりきって演じるために、場面場面の登場人物の感情や表情をみんなでイメージしたりしながらオペレッタやタンバリンの練習をしました。「はやくお家の人に観てもらいたいな～。」と当日に向けて期待を膨らませているお子さま達です。来週からの練習もみんなで力を合わせて頑張りましょうね☆
2020.11.05Today in Class 2

We had a lot of fun in Class 2 today. After everyone arrived, we practiced our bells song for Hyogen Festival together. It was very fun, and the children enjoy shaking their bells around. After a quick morning meeting, we finished our fox origami craft. The children could call out many autumn things such as acorns and pinecones, and drew them with their foxes. We then set up the room to practice our English play. All the children have fun dancing and saying their lines. It was a fun practice and we are looking forward to performing in front of the parents. After that, we went outside for one of the last outside plays of the year. It was so much fun to run around in the cool wind. Before we knew it, it was lunch time, and then time to go home. What a great day. See you tomorrow!
2020.11.04Today in Class 1

Today was our first class in November, and it was also the first day of snow. We began with a phonics game and english conversation time together. The children now take turns each day as the teacher’s assistant, and the teacher’s assistants run the good morning and goodbye meetings by themselves. Everyone has enjoyed getting to lead in front of the class and speak lots of English. After morning meeting, we made a fox for an origami craft. Folding origami paper is a challenge, but everyone is doing their best. We also practiced for Hyogen Festival. There are many things to prepare, and the children have enjoyed acting out their parts in the play, learning their dance, and the musical performance. We can’t wait to show all the parents our hard work. Before lunch, we went for a walk in the park. It was a little cold, but it was snowing in the morning, so all the children wanted to go out and see. The snow had already melted, but we got to see how the park has changed now that winter is getting closer. We look forward to winter activities, as well as the upcoming Hyogen Festival.
2020.10.30年長着衣泳体験



今日の年長組は、サンプラザスイミングプールで着衣泳体験をしてきました。最初に、水難事故の危険性や水難事故に遭ってしまったときの対処法について教わりました。また、おぼれている人の助け方も教わり、「ペットボトルでも浮くことができるんだ！」「でも中身が入っていると沈んでしまうね」と自分達で考えながら理解していました。服を着たまま水の中に入ることに少し緊張した様子でしたが、入ってみると「服が重いな！」と言いながらも楽しんでいましたよ。おぼれている人にボールを投げて優しく引っ張る練習や、水の中で泳ぐ練習、水の中で思い切り走ったりもしました！「動きずらいな！」「転んでしまいそう！」と、服を着ていることで動きにくくなることや、重くなることを身をもって知ったお子さま達。今日の経験を忘れず、気を付けて過ごしていきましょうね。
2020.10.29Halloween Party

Today was a special day at IYK. It was the IYK Halloween Party! The children came in super cute and scary costumes and we had lots of fun together! In the morning, the children played together, before heading outside to have their class pictures taken. We also made our Halloween bags, sticking on stars and scary monsters, and colouring neatly. During the Halloween Party, the children did their best to get clues in order to find Mr. Halloween and his chest of yummy treats. The children did their best to help all of Mr. Halloween’s monster friends. First, they helped the Witch to make a magic potion using lots of yucky eyes and a magic word. Then the children searched for special keys that unlocked the doors on the monsters’ Haunted House. The children even danced together with the Skeleton! We went to visit Mr. Halloween and got many yummy Halloween treats! We even had a special Halloween lunch! Everyone did so well and had so much fun in their costumes! Good job, everyone! And Happy Halloween!
2020.10.28Today’s Bear Classes & Class 8

Both Bear Classes were so much fun today! We were so happy to see everyones cute and cool costumes. Everyone looked so nice and enjoyed our Halloween activities. We helped play with baby monsters by pulling them across the room. We pretended to be many different Halloween characters while dancing along to “Fly Little Bats”. We even got to meet a new friend: Mr. Halloween. The children could say “trick or treat” and get a special, yummy present from him. After we said “thank you” we took photos. Mommies and daddies seemed so happy too. Thank you so much for your support, everyone. We can’t wait to see you next week!
今日のClass8は、回る絵製作とゲーム屋さんを行いました♪回る絵の見本を見せると、「どうなっているの？」と最初は不思議そうにしてましたが、「組み合わせてくるくるしてるんだ！」とすぐに気付き、「つくってみたい！」と興味津々のお子さま達。変わったら面白いものをみんなで考えると、「季節が変わる！」「お花が育つ！」「ものが増える！」など、面白いアイディアがたくさん出てきました。刀が折れる様子や、ソフトクリームが溶ける様子を絵に描き、できたものは友達と交換して遊んで楽しんでいましたよ。「これおもしろいね！」「かわいい！」など、友達の作品のよいところを見つけて褒める姿がみられました。その後は、先週から行っていたゲーム屋さんごっこを行いました。昨日つくった輪投げは、ペットボトルに色水を入れて的にしましたが、「中の色を変えたい！」ということでもう一度色水をつくって遊びました！「Shake♪Shake♪」とダンスしながら色水をつくる姿がとても可愛かったです。先週は、他のクラスの友達を呼んで店員さんになって遊んでいましたが、Class8だけで最後にたくさん遊びたいというお子さま達の声を聞き、みんなで思い切り楽しみましたよ。製作が大好きな8組さん。これからもアイディアを出し合って、楽しいものをたくさんつくりましょうね！
2020.10.27Birthday Party ＆ Today’s Elephant Class

今日は10月生まれのお友達のBirthday Partyでした。13人のお友達が誕生日を迎え、また1つ大きいお兄さん、お姉さんになりましたよ。手拍子でのBirthday SongとBirthday Cardのプレゼントの後は、先生達からのプレゼント。今月は、Junior Classの先生達がパネルシアターを見せてくれました。南の島にあるイグアナレストランには、毎日たくさんのお客さんがやってきます。今日もサルさん、ワニさん、トラさん、カニさんがお腹を空かせてやってきましたよ。雲のソフトクリームや風のスパゲティーでお腹を満たした動物たちは、この日１９８７歳の誕生日を迎えたイグアナさんにケーキをつくって、一緒にお誕生日をお祝いしました。幼稚園にも10月生まれのお友達がたくさんいることを知った動物さん達からは、Happy Birthdayのメッセージのプレゼント。お子さま達の笑顔が輝く楽しい時間になりました。

The Tuesday/Friday Elephant Class children were so happy and active today. They could have lots of fun and many children could speak English confidently. We helped Mr. Monster once more during our English Activity. The children picked “scary” or “cute” friends, crawled though a “scary” or “cute” tunnel, and put them in Mr. Monster’s Halloween Party. Next time, Elephant Class will have its own Halloween Party. The children can wear costumes and get cookies from another special friend. Finally, we had spaghetti for lunch and played when we finished. Many friends even did the “Fly Little Bats” Halloween dance during play time by themselves. Good job everyone! See you on Friday and we cannot wait to see your costumes. Show us please!
2020.10.26Today’s Elephant Class/Today’s Class7

Today’s Elephant Class had a big, fun day together. The children all helped Mr. Monster in our English lesson. He had a “party” with many costumed friends. Some were cute, some were scary, and the children helped get them to the party. The “scary” friends crawled through the “scary tunnel” and “cute” friends went through the “cute tunnel”. The children all did a good job picking one and many could say if it’s cute or scary. We had a yummy school lunch with a special Halloween dessert too. After that, we did a Halloween dance and got another candy for our blackboard. We sand “Happy Birthday” to three girls who turn 3 in October as well. Next time is our Halloween Party. We are looking foward to seeing everyones costumes. Will they be cute or scary? We can’t wait to find out. See you next time!

Today’s Class7
Today in Class 7, we had lots of fun! We continued to make our English dictionaries by thinking of words beginning with V and W, and everyone did their best to write neatly. During our Morning Meeting, we looked for the key for the Haunted House by checking each of the monsters. We also had our English Activity and worked in groups to make bridges across the river. There were lots of great ideas! We used plastic straws, tape, and card to make them as strong as we could, and then tested them by placing heavy objects on top. Everyone asked “Will it break?” and Class 7 were happy to see that all four bridges were able to support the weight! After lunch, the children played lots of fun games together. Some friends even made long, colourful snakes! Good job, everyone!
2020.10.24幼児救命講習



今日は、先生達で「幼児救命講習～MEDIC First Aid が提供する小児･乳児向け国際救急法講習 ChildcarePlusコース」を受けました。事故や病気から子ども達を守るためにどうしたらよいか、子どもに意識がない時の対応（AEDの使い方やCPRの仕方）、怪我や異物がのどに詰まった時の対応、エピペンの使い方など、様々なことを学びました。応急救護訓練修了者事故が起こらないように環境を整えることはもちろんですが、万が一何かあった時に対応できるよう、教職員一同で意識を高めた研修になりました。
2020.10.23Today’s Senior

今日の年長組は、ジンギスカンイベントを行いました♪朝から「ジンギスカン大好きー！」と、今日のイベントを楽しみにしていた年長組さん。イベントでは、「ジンギスカンは何のお肉でしょう？」というクイズに「羊～！」と正解を答えていましたよ。さすが年長組さんです！紙芝居でジンギスカンの美味しい食べ方や、たれの種類などいろいろなことを教えてもらい、「おうちでも食べてみたいな！」と嬉しそうにしていました。紙芝居の後は、ジンギスカンの曲に合わせてみんなでダンスをしました♪とてもノリノリな曲だったので、お子さま達も元気いっぱい踊りました。声を出すところでは、「ジンギスカン！」と大きな声で合いの手を入れて楽しんでいましたよ。たくさん踊ってお腹が空いたところで、ジンギスカン焼きそばを試食しました。「美味しいね！」「もっと食べたいよ！」と、ますますジンギスカンを大好きになったようです。その後は年長組みんなでLunchを食べたり、遊んだりして、とっても楽しい1日でしたね。
