Last Saturday (May 31st, 2014) it was scheduled for the Saturday class of High Five English School for a field trip. Thank you Mr. Sun for this beautiful weather!

The location was at Myoukensan 妙見山. To get there, we had to ride a cable car. It was first time for some kids and second time for the others. Some were a little bit scared and hugged me tight. 〓〓

After arriving to the top of the mountain. There is a park for the kids to play. They played for about 20 minutes.

After playing, we tried the cable lift. The kids were so brave! It was a wonderful experience and the place was really beautiful! You could see some sunflowers below and lots of butterflies and bees.

After arriving, we went to see the cemetery we took a picture of a dog pet cemetery precisely a dog and cat if i’m not mistaken.

After the cemetery, we went down walking to enjoy the scent of nature. We have seen many creatures especially caterpillars. The kids have used many sticks and tried to find a decent one for it always breaks. For a second, we were like adventurers!!!

As we reach the end, we arrived back at the park. The kids were really hungry and ate their lunch aggresively.

After eating lunch, we tried the rapid express train. The kids were saying, "It’s so slow!! Gino, push the train!!" in a joke way. Well they are aware how strong their teacher is. Hehe just kiddin’

Upon reaching the end of the line, the train driver was so kind and let us took a picture with the awesome train.

After the train, we checked our time and it’s time to go. We walked downwards it was now easier for the kids and they even tried running.

We went back safely and the kids’ parents were waiting at Nakayama station. The kids were really exhausted but had a lot of fun!!!

A memorable experience indeed!

Today the Penguin, Pandas and Dolphins planted their bean at High Five Kids International School in Nakayama Satsukidai.

今日はSaturday classの子達と妙見山まで遠足に行きました。
阪急電鉄と能勢電鉄に乗って行き、妙見口から黒川まで歩きケーブルカーに乗ります。今日は暑くて大変だったけれど風がありまだましでした。歩くのは大変でしたが文句も言わず一生懸命あるきました。でもケーブルカーをみるやいなや疲れも取れてみんなは笑顔
高い山に登るケーブルは歩いた疲れを癒やしてくれました。上の公園で遊びリフトにも乗りました。チョウチョがいっぱい舞っていました。

先週はAYUMIのリトミックでした。
やっぱり子ども達はリトミックがだいすき！
今回はピアノを触ってのレッスン！子ども達はドキドキしながら触りニコニコしていました。
ドルフィンズは頭にお手玉を乗せてバランス感覚を保ちながら音楽に合わせて落とします。みんな一斉に落ちるとみんな大喜び！

今日は内科検診と眼科検診がありました。
検診ではみんな静かに待ち
先生の言うことを聞きとてもお利口でした。
一生懸命で真面目に受ける子ども達の姿は
本当に愛おしいです。


先生方に写真使用してよいか確認しわすれたので
キラキラつけました。

So it has begun!

The sports day is coming up! The koala kids have been learning and practicing how to say "READY!" And the posture how to race.

Go go go koalas!!!!

ビッグキッズ達が育てているお豆さんが週末に急成長！びっくりしました。
ペンギンとパンダは
成長記録をつけています！

Today was parents’ observation day at High Five Kids, most of the parents were able to come and we had an opportunity to show what we have been learning and doing recently. The Panda/ Penguin class have been doing a few projects focusing on observing and recording, so having the parents there today observing us fit in with what we have been learning. Since the beginning of the school year we have been recording the weather at 10:00 am every class day, and recording it on our calendar. At the end of each month we take the information we have recorded and transfer it onto a chart, throughout the year we can refer to this chart and compare the weather of different months. We also have been germinating mung beans in the classroom, the students observe the beans and record the growth by drawing pictures of the different stages as they grow. The beans are currently in the sprouting stage with the first leaves showing. We have been discussing pollination and the different parts of plants as we experience the growing first hand. We are also working on our Father’s day gifts and cards but I will not be posting photos until later.

今日は新学期始まって初参観でした。
たくさんの保護者の方に来て頂き嬉しかったです。
子ども達は終始興奮していました。
お別れは大泣き！
