Amicus Kindergarten

Learning to play. Playing to learn. :-)

Strawberry Field Trip

It was a great day to go strawberry picking! The strawberries were very juicy and so delicious! Yummy!

素晴らしいいちご狩り日和!どのいちごもとてもみずみずしく、とてもおいしかったです!!

Once we learned which strawberries we could pick (“Please pick the all red strawberries using scissors.”), we were ready to enjoy!

「はさみを使って、赤いいちごだけ摘み取ってね。」という説明を受け、楽しむ準備万端!

After strawberry picking we went for a picnic lunch and play at Iha Park.

いちご狩りの後は伊波公園にてランチを食べた後、たっぷり遊びました。

Kinder friends enjoyed a great walk back to school from Iha Park. Great job!

伊波公園からは、なが~い道のりを頑張って歩いて幼稚園まで帰りました。グッジョブ!!

K1 Kendama Test (Part1)

Inspired by our K2 friends who showed their enthusiasm in playing Kendama, our K1 friends also challenged themselves to pass 3 levels.

K2のお友だちの白熱したけん玉遊びに刺激を受け、K1の子どもたちもけん玉検定の3つのレベルを達成するべくチャレンジしました。

In a short period of time, they practiced and showed their skills.

短い時間ではありましたが、それぞれが自身のスキルを磨き、披露しました。

The following friends passed Level 10.

10級に合格した子どもたちです。

Then, they had Level 9 🙂 They were nervous but they reached the next level of challenge.

それから9級。緊張していましたが、次のレベルへの挑戦です。

These two friends successfully made it! They passed Level 9.

2人のお友だちが成功し、9級に合格することができました!

Down to our last challenge of the day. Level 8 is quite challenging but they were ready to try. 🙂

いよいよこの日最後の挑戦。8級はとても難しいですが、満を持して挑みました。

He passed Level 8.

そして、たった一人!8級に合格することができました!!

Teachers also challenged and tried. 🙂

先生たちも挑戦しました。

We congratulate everyone for taking up the challenge of KENDAMA 🙂

“Losing doesn’t mean you fail. It means you have to try harder to succeed next time.”

We will hold our next test next month so our K1 friends have more chances of showing their skills in different levels.

Good luck and do your best K1 Friends. We are proud of your new found interest. 🙂

みんなでけん玉検定にチャレンジしたことをお互いに称えあいました。

3月になったらもう一度けん玉検定を開催する予定なので、また様々なレベルに挑戦できる機会となるはずです。

新しいことに興味をもって取り組むK1の子どもたち、立派です!次もがんばって!

K1 (Playdough) Muchi Making

Originally, we planned to have Marathon and Muchi Making today but due to the current pandemic as well as the weather today we were not able to proceed as planned.

当初の計画では、本日マラソン大会とムーチー作りをする予定でいましたが、さ現在発出されている緊急事態宣言と天候不良により、どちらも実施することができませんでした。

However, we thought that a fun muchi making activity is necessary for our K1 friends to learn about Okinawan culture.

First, we let them watch and listen to a story about “Muchi”

ですが、K1では沖縄の文化を学ぶために、楽しいムーチー作りのアクティビティを行いました。まず始めに“ムーチー”についてのお話を視聴しました。

Then, we started making the playdough mix using flour, salt, oil, water and food color.

まず、小麦粉、塩、油、水、食紅を混ぜ…、

Next, we made muchi using playdough and wrapped it with “getto no happa” (getto leaf).

次に、出来上がった粘土でムーチーを形作り、月桃の葉に包みました。

Then, they enjoyed playing and making many things with the leftover playdough that they took home eventually.

また、本日持ち帰っていますが、K1の子どもたちは残った粘土で様々なもの作って楽しみました!

※Please refrain from eating this playdough. このムーチーは食べられません。

Happy Friday indeed! 🙂

K1 Update: Sports Day and P.E.

Last month, we had our Sports Day.

Few days after that, we played with the balloons that we used as decoration during the Sports Day.

After this, we showed our appreciation to the Gym that served as our place for Sports Day practices, P.E. lessons and other playtime by cleaning up the facility.

Now, we are using different kinds of ball games for P.E. to continuously develop their muscles, endurance and strength.

Good job K1 🙂
