ジュリアン先生より

Kindergarten kids had a wonderful time with the nursery rhymes, this week we had “Diddle Diddle Dumpling”, while toddlers and rompers enjoyed playing games.

Morning routine: We sang the Good Morning Song cheerfully, the attendance list following the usual pattern and finally at the Family Tree routine, this time kids got to tell the class about their friend’s family! E.g. “This is U.Y.'s grandfather”.

To warm up we begun with the “hello song”, followed next by The Monkey Dance, Hickery, dickery dock and to end happy…Where is thumbkin!

Physical Education (P.E. - Kindergarten class). It is important to encourage children to participate in physical activities.

Today we started with simple motor skills. In small groups, children; rolled, threw and bounced balls. At the beginning they practiced with two hands, then one hand, sitting down, standing up, etc.

Japanese class with Yuko. She read “Tora to maruta”.

20 minutes latter teachers (Tim, Rebecca and Julian) performed a puppet show (The three little pigs), but this time using lots of movements and using original lines that at the end students just enjoyed a lot!
