Nagano Rainbow – Going fishing! (12-17 June)

Hello everyone! みなさん、こんにちは!

It has been another fun week here in Rainbow. We had fun exploring the park, had an exciting gym lesson, went fishing for sea animals, made presents for father’s day, and had a fantastic morning circle together with all you lovely parents.

今週もとっても楽しいレインボークラスでした。公園を探索したり、excitingなジムレッスンがあったり、釣りごっこをしたり、父の日のプレゼントを作りをしました。そして、school open dayにご参加してくださりありがとうございました。

Exploring the park 🌳

We always have a lot of fun playing at the park together, and this week was no exception! The kids had fun exploring the edge of the park, and found a garbage truck right outside. They were working carefully as the workers were loading up their big truck with the trash. No bubbles this time, but we still had a lot of fun running around together!

今週も楽しく公園で遊びました!公園の隅の植木の間からゴミ収集車を見つけて、ゴミを積み込む収集員の姿を観察しました。みんな以前よりも体の動かし方が上手くなり、アスレチックでもできることが増えてきました!

Gym lesson 🤸

The kids were happy to use their bodies and show off what they can do in our gym lesson this week. After stretching together, we used the mat to perform various activities.  We crawled across the mat to start off the lesson, followed by a bear walk and jumping across it. The teacher also brought out some obstacles for the kids to try and jump over. Everyone tried their best and did a great job!

今週はジムレッスンの週でした。体を動かすことがみんな大好きなのでレッスンの日を楽しみにしています。しっかり準備体操をしてからいざマットへ!ます初めにマットの上の線の上をハイハイして、くまさん歩き、そしてジャンプをしながらマットを横断しました!その後は障害物を踏まないように飛び越えたり、みんなとても真剣に取り組んでいました!

Fishing time! 🎣

We have been singing and learning about sea animals all month. And what better way to learn about sea animals than to go fishing! The kids took turns fishing different sea animals from the “sea”. We also had a variety of sea animal pictures laid out a table. Once they caught their animal, they had to say its name and find the matching picture on the table. As the kids were fishing, they friends were cheering them on!

今月のテーマの海の生物について引き続き学んでいます。より海の生物が身近になるように釣りをして遊びました。海の生物を釣り上げてからテーブルの上にある同じ生物のカードを選びました。そして一人一人何を釣ったのかお友達に教えて、お友達は拍手で讃えていました!

Open school day 👪

Thank you to all the parents for coming to our open school day! The kids looked so happy to do their morning circle together with their beloved parents! It was also our first time doing our circle time outside, and I think its definitely something we will look at doing more of in the future!

保護者のみなさん、School open dayにお越しいただきありがとうございました!大好きなお父さんとお母さんと一緒にモーニングサークルができてとっても幸せそうに見えました。これからも園庭でモーニングサークルをしていこうと思います。

Father’s Day craft 👔

Everyone was excited to make a nice present for their daddies! We used paint and our fingers to make a nice tie! The kids were instructed to try and only use their finger to paint during the craft, but using their whole hands was just too tempting! We hope all the daddies at home enjoy their presents!

父の日のプレゼント作りをしました。子供たちはとてもワクワクしながらネクタイの形をした紙に指で絵の具を塗りました。「絵の具をつけるのは指だけだよ」と伝えたものの…みんなついつい手のひらに絵の具をつけてしまいました!みなさんが楽しい父の日を送れますように!

Thank you for reading, and see you again next time!
