Hello everyone!
I was glad to hear everyone was safe after the typhoon, and I hope all of your families are doing well too.
It has been a short, but fun week here at ISN!
ISN長野キャンパスレインボークラスの保護者の皆様、こんにちは。
この度の台風被害に際し、心よりお見舞いを申し上げます。
皆様の安全と被災地の1日も早い復旧、復興をお祈り申し上げます。
It’s gotten a lot cooler outside, and even cold sometimes, but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying the fresh air outside! And this week, we had a very special gym class outside!
We started by running around in a circle to warm up, and then did our usual stretches.
We then had a fun running race against each other. We also did a race while doing the bear walk!
Next, we put some hoops on the ground, and had the children jump across them from hoop to hoop.
Finally, we had a fun relay race where they had to put the hoop around a cone at the end of the race.
今週はスペシャルなジムレッスンがありました！
いつもは室内でのジムレッスンですが今週は、園庭でジムレッスンを行いました。広い園庭でみんなでかけっこをしたり、
芝生の上でクマさん歩きをしたり、フラフープをうさぎジャンプ！そしてフープを持ち全力疾走！いつもと違った雰囲気にみんな楽しそうにレッスンを受けていました。
It was time for our swimming lesson, and everyone was excited to go to the pool!
Before entering the pool, we did our usual stretching and took a shower.
We started the lesson off by splashing around with our feet and splashing some water on our shoulder, stomach and face. This week we had a special guest to help show the children where the splash the water. The swimming teacher brought a cute baby doll to help out!
Next, the kids had to pick up some rings from the bottom of the pool and put them in a basket the teacher was holding.
Next, the kids had to walk on the platform in the water to the edge, and the jump off it into the teacher’s arms. After that, the kids crawled through a hula hoop the teacher was holding.
Finally, everyone had to pick up balls floating in the water and put them in the hula hoop laying down at the edge of the pool.
どのお友達もお水に顔、耳をつけたり、上手にお水の中でぶくぶく（息を吐く）とできるようになりました。
お水の中でのワニさん歩きもとても早く歩けるようになったり、前回はみんな怖がっていた台を歩いて行き、先生へのジャンプも
今週はみんな笑顔で楽しそうに先生に向かってジャンプをしたり、支えてもらいながらユラユラ～と浮くことができました。
次回のスイミングレッスンも楽しみですね！
We had another fun music lesson this week.
The lesson started with our usual greeting song.
Next, we used the same picture book as the last couple of times to learn about the difference between high and low. We also used the parachute sheet again. We held it high or put it down low according to the different music we heard, but this time we also walked around the room while holding it.
The teacher showed the kids a picture of a horse, and them showed them how to do a fun walk or run as a horse. We then walked or ran as a horse around the room according to the different music we heard.
今週も楽しいリトミックがありました。
先週に引き続き高いもの、低いものについてお勉強しました。大きなスカーフをみんなで持って高い音が聞こえたら、背伸びをし
スカーフを頭の上に、低い音が聞こえたらしゃがんで床に手をつく！みんなちゃんと音を聴きわけてできました。
その他にもリズム打ちとステップを経験したり、マラカスを使い先生の真似をし大きく振ったり、小さく振ったりしました。
マラカスにはみんな興味津々で楽しそうに振っていました。
Lastly, I would like to introduce you to the last Halloween song we have been singing for our Halloween event. It’s called “Goodbye, My Friends”.
ハロウィンパーティーで、みんなで歌う曲をもう一つ紹介します。
“Goodbye my friends”という曲です。お家でもお子さんと一緒に歌ってみてください。
As always, thank you for reading and see you again next week!
Have a wonderful weekend!
それでは皆さま、素敵な週末をお過ごしください。
月曜日に元気いっぱいなレインボーさんたちに会えるのスタッフ一同楽しみにしています。
