こ～んぺいとう こんぺいとう♪

今日は寒い一日となりましたが、午前中は元気に大繩で遊びました！

最初は飛ぶタイミングが難しいようでしたが、
みんなで声を掛け合い、なんと９回連続で飛べた子もいました♪

そのあとは、「こ～んぺいとう♪」という歌にあわせて
縄跳びをくぐったり、飛び越えたりする遊びをしました！
「むずかしい～～！」「今のは練習だからもう1回！！」と言いながら
大盛り上がりでたのしんでくれました

This afternoon the kids used their vivid imagination to turn some giant sheets of paper into whatever their mind desired! A girl made a cap by folding and taping some paper, two boys became treasure hunters, making a chest, a book and some tools to further explore with, whilst one of the younger boys was thrilled to simply roll up a sheet of paper, call it a sword, and bash everything in his sight

Rolling Around In The Park!

This morning Caterpillar class went to the park. Today was a great day to go as it was nice and sunny, so we explored and had fun playing together. On the way there we sang some songs, and tried to recall what we could remember from the English content from February, transport, which we then tried to look for. The older children had retained the new vocabulary from our most recent English lesson really well, so we spent a good portion of our walk to the park looking to see if we could spot any bees or ladybugs. As well as singing our new ladybug song. Once we were at the park, we played with jump rope and balls. Some children noticed that if they sat down, they could cover themselves in leaves, which others quickly joined in with. It was good to see how much fun can come out of nature.

Butterfly class had an exciting morning of show and tell. As always the children couldn't wait to show their friends what they had brought in. To start the game, the children must ask questions with a yes or no answer, such as 'Is it green? Is it big' As they start to whittle it down, they can begin to ask the person doing the show and tell what they think they have brought in. 'Is it a robot?' or 'Is it an elephant?' This is a good way for the children to practice forming questions.

午後は避難訓練を行いました！
一年間の総まとめとして、今まで訓練した「地震」「火事」「不審者」がきたときにどうしたら良いのかクイズ形式で出題しました！
4月からバタフライさんに進級する2歳児さんは、地震が起きたらどうするのか、火事が起きたらどうするのかきちんと理解して見本を見せてくれました♪
その様子を見たお友達も真似をしてきちんと学ぶことが出来ました！話を聞いている表情は真剣そのものでした！
バタフライさんには難しい問題として「おかしも」「いかのおすし」等火事や不審者が現れた時の標語を問いかけ、しっかり答えることが出来ました！
4月から年長さんになる年中さんたちは、少し分からない問題もありましたが、今日をきっかけにきちんとわかるようになったと思います！来年度からは君たちが皆のことを守ってね♪

年長さんへ「ありがとう」♪

今日は卒園式の練習があり、椅子を並べて年長さん以外のお友達が座り準備万端☆年長さんとバタフライの先生が入場してくるとみんなで盛大の拍手で年長さんを迎えました♪0歳児さんは途中で眠くなってしまったり、後ろが気になってしまっていましたが、キャタピラーさんの踊りの時間になると目を輝かせて体を動かしたり、バタフライさんの合奏が始まると目を覚まし興味津々でした！！年長さんにプレゼントをあげる真似をしたり年長さんの歌やスピーチを聞いて、みんな緊張感が一気に広がり、もっと練習を頑張ろうという気持ちになりました☆
これからクラスで歌や踊りの練習が多くなるけれど、年長さんへ「ありがとう」の気持ちを込めて頑張ろうね♪

This afternoon Caterpillar class had a maths lesson in which they fine-tuned their fine motor skills through a series of exercises. They started by walking with their fingers from one point to another, (a certain bread-headed character to his home, for example) they then tried drawing a line from one image to another, matching two of the same image together. Finally they tried tracing a straight line, a zigzag line and a sine wave. The younger children had some difficulty with the bendy lines but even most of them could trace the straight line with relative ease.

Meanwhile Butterfly class were saying, reading and writing words with 'ee' and 'ea' in them (ear, feet, tree, steam, etc). At the start they were a little confused about the fact that these words are spelt differently but sound so similar. Eventually they came to understand that this is one of the many quirks of the English language, and that reading phonetically can sometimes be very difficult in English. Once we'd played a matching game and practiced writing some of the words, the class had a fuller understanding of these words and how they're written.

くもりのち雨☔

今日は昨日とは違い、寒い一日となりましたね。

音楽遊びの前にお外へ行こうとしましたが、雨が降ってしまい断念しました☂

キャタピラークラスは午前中、お部屋で赤、青、黄色のボールを使ったミニゲームをしました。

「この3つの色どこかで見たことあるかな？」と質問をすると

「信号！！」と答えてくれる2歳児さんがいました☆

バタフライクラスは卒園式のお歌の練習です♪

卒園式まで残り1ヶ月ということもあり、とてもよくなってきました✨

お歌が何曲もあり大変ですがみんな頑張っています😊

音楽遊びでは手遊び歌や触れ合い遊びを楽しみました。

手遊び歌では、キャタピラークラスもバタフライクラスも垣根なく一緒に手を繋いだり

足や手を合わせたりと仲良く活動出来ました♡

大きなお友達は小さなお友達に優しくしてくれ、小さな子たちもとても嬉しそうにしていました☀

This afternoon Butterfly class had their English lesson. We learnt all about our morning routine. The lesson focused on how to answer the question, What do you do in the morning? We sang a song together to learn some responses. Music is a great way for children to remember. It can allow children to form sentences easier, especially younger children who might feel less confident speaking in full sentences. The children learnt, I wake up, I wash my face, I brush my teeth, I comb my hair, I eat breakfast and I go to school. Once we had learnt our new sentences, we played a game. The teacher showed the children a flashcard, I eat breakfast, and the children went to find where they ate breakfast in the morning. An active lesson is always enjoyed.

Caterpillar class had an afternoon of making presents for some special people. The 2 year olds took markers and drew some faces. Then they used star stickers to stick to the base of the present which we will present to the students who are leaving after graduation. The younger children took smaller green stickers and stuck them to card, the base of another present. Using stickers at this age is a good way to promote their pincer grip We hope that the recipients all love their presents, as much as the children enjoyed making them.

Happy Hinamatsuri!

今日はおじいちゃん、おばあちゃん、フェローホームズの方とひなまつりイベント予定でしたが、コロナウィルスの為イベントは中止に…

その代わりにお部屋で、子どもと先生でプチひなまつりイベントをすることになりました！

まずはひなまつりがどのように始まったのかのお話をしました。

みんな真剣に劇を見ていて、見終わった後は「そうなんだー」と驚いていました！

その後、みんなで○×ゲームをしました。

「先生のお誕生日は3月3日だ！？」

「えー？バツだよー！」

「三人官女はみんな立っている！？」

「えー！？どっちだっけー！？」

ととても盛り上がりました♪

最後は手遊びをして、みんなでひなまつりの歌を歌いました♪

来年はみんなでイベントができると良いですね。

We kicked off the afternoon with a beautiful sakura mochi treat, before Caterpillar class had their English lesson and Butterfly class had some outdoor play time. In Caterpillar class' English Lesson we started out new 'Spring' topic with 4 spring animals, ladybug, bunny, chick and bee. We each held a cute little ladybug on a stick as it crawled to different parts of our body to a delightful new song, and then played a gae of 'Musical Squares', in which two children walked around in a circle until the music stopped and then went to the picture of the animal that the teacher says!

Butterfly class spent their time playing outside, climbing and relaxing in the trees and chasing each other through the little hills and the trees.

3月の…はじまりはじまり～！

早いもので、もう3月になってしまいました！今年度は残り1ヶ月！
クラスのお友達とたくさん遊んで、素敵な思い出をたくさん作りたいですね！

午前中は雨だったのでみんなお外には出れず……

キャタピラーさんは伝承遊びをしました。

丸や四角など、みんな色々な形が書けるようになってきたので
「絵描き歌」をして楽しみました☆

まずは昔ながらの絵描き歌を先生が披露！！
「まんまるぶたさん」の絵描き歌では、丸をたくさん描いていくとあっという間にぶたさんが完成してビックリ～！
「可愛いコックさん」は、みんなコックさんが何だか分からなかったようで、キョトンとしていました…（笑）

見てばかりではつまらないので、みんなも一緒にやってみました♪
ぶたさん同様、丸を描くだけでできてしまう目玉焼きや、あとは夏みかんやイチゴも描きました♪

そしてみんなが大好きな…ドラえもん！！！テレビでもよくやっていますね！
これを最後にやりましたが、、、むずかしい～～！

でも2歳児さんは一生懸命お歌を聴いて先生の真似をして描いていました！

どれもとっても覚えやすいお歌なので、家でもぜひやってみてもらいたいです♪
バタフライさんはMathの時間でした。
一年間の総まとめということで、色々な図形の形を当てたり数字を順番に書いたり、あとは足し算や引き算もしました。

年少さんはとっても字を書くのがうまくなっていて驚きました！もう数字が書けるようになりました…！
年中さんは足し算や引き算は絵がなくても数字を見るだけでできるようになったり、年長さんは計算が早くなったり…

それぞれの成長を感じるレッスンになりました☆

This afternoon, Caterpillar class did some exercise involving hula hoops. They had to crawl through hula hoops until they got higher and higher and they had to climb. This was a good way to use up some energy on a rainy day Small exercises keep the children active and encourage them to use their motor skills. Once we felt we had had enough fun with the hula hoops, we had some free play. All the children love this portion of the day, where they can be free to explore whatever their imagination wants.

Butterfly class had an afternoon of instrument practice in preparation for the graduation ceremony. It really is amazing to see how much they are improving and they cannot wait to show you how well they are doing when you come to see them at the ceremony. Learning an instrument is such a good life skill, it's nice to see the children taking to it from such a young age.
