Amicus Kindergarten

Thank you again for your support for our K1s Mission. The Mission is COMPLETE! All K1s have presented and we learned a lot about the foods they made and how they are good for our bodies. It is encouraging to hear that they are using their S&T sentences to talk about their snack and lunch with one another. We look forward to challenging them more as we get into Term 2!

夏休みに取り組んでもらった植物に関する課題の Show & Tell 、今週で全員の発表を終えることができました。今までに食べたことがない野菜や果物を選び、視覚・触覚・聴覚・嗅覚・味覚を使って調べ、それぞれの分かったことをK1のみんなに共有してくれました。👏✨

発表する際に習った、”I made ~.” “It was ~.” のフレーズを発表する子と一緒に全員でも反復練習していたので、子ども達は英語のフレーズを自分ごとに置き換え、スナックタイムやランチタイムでも “It was yummy!” “It’s sweet.” “It’s sour.” ”It’s bumpy!” などの声が聞こえるようになりました。

大勢の前に出ての発表は緊張したと思いますが、Show & Tell を終えた後はみんな自信がついたかのようにキラキラした笑顔を見せていました。ご家庭での取り組み、ご協力ありがとうございました。🥰💓

Tomato ＆ Cucumber　Group learning

We were happy to see such good results from our pre-summer Group Learning. 夏休み前にK1の子ども達が学習していた”Plants”について、観察結果をアートポスターにしてまとめたものです。

Great job K1 friends!!🥰🙌

Last week, K1 friends were working so hard to make the gifts for their grandparents who are Mommy’s parents and Daddy’s parents. We hope you all had a great weekend with your family and that their grandparents like their gifts!🥰

三連休は、おじいちゃん・おばあちゃんと楽しい時間を過ごせたでしょうか。先週K1の子ども達は、いつもお世話になっている大好きなおじいちゃん・おばあちゃんの為に、感謝の気持ちを込めて一生懸命プレゼントを作りました。一つはママのご両親、もう一つはパパのご両親へです。 🥰

Making beads part

Leaf pressing

K1 friends picked some leaves from around Amicus for their grandparents.😘They pressed them into paper clay.

アミークスの校内からおじいちゃん・おばあちゃんをイメージして葉っぱを探し、紙粘土に押し付けて葉っぱの型取りをしました。

Gifts for grandparents

For the wood art, we recycled the tree from Amicus that fell down in the last big typhoon🌳🌪 K1s are thinking a little about SDGs

ビーズの下にある木の部分は、８月の大きな台風６号の被害で倒れてしまったアミークス校内の木を再利用して作りました。K1の子ども達にとって、このプレゼント作りはとても良い経験になりました。🥰✨

I love you Grandma and Grandpa!!💗

We continue to enjoy hearing about our K1s’ food experiences and how the food they cooked with benefits our bodies. More friends are challenging themselves to eat a variety of different foods. They are learning to present their work to their friends and speaking in a big voice. They are also learning how to ask each other questions. It has been a fun experience so far!

We are really enjoying hearing K1’s Show & Tell now. Last week, 8 K1 friends did great job. They were using key sentences like, “I made ~.” “It was ~.” during their turn. Also everyone is practicing speak English together:)

We are very happy that K1 friends are back at AMICUS!! Also they were very happy to see their friends after a long time.

We enjoyed doing our K1 NEWS Channel interview program!! “How was your Summer Break?” “What did you do?” “What did you see?” “Where did you go?”

We all wanted to appear on the news, so we had sharing time with all of K1 friends during Art time. Then, we drew about “My summer break memories” in our sketchbooks.

Lunch Time together again!

K1 friends started practice for Family Sports Day!!

Phonics

Also, we started crafting!!

Music

We are learning about onomatopoeia.

Hello, K1 friends and parents!! We hope you all had a great summer break🥰

Before summer break we were growing tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots in our K1 Garden. Unfortunately the carrots did not grow. Some of our tomato plants grew but quickly died. Fortunately, our cucumber plants did grow up and we are able to harvest one cucumber from K1’s garden with Azukari friends before the big typhoon came! It was a good experience for the students. We learn that sometimes growing food can be difficult, but we will try again! We are planning to plant winter vegetables after K1s return and learn how to better take care of our crops. We hope no more typhoons will come 😉

AMICUS will resumes tomorrow!! So, we would like to announce about what students need to bring here. Please make sure that your child bring these things in the below:

🌺Tool box

🌺Blanket

🌺 Towel

🌺 Inside shoes

🌺 P.E. hat

🌺 Library bag

🌺 Extra clothes (2 sets)

🌺 Communication book

🌺 Lunch, Snack and Water bottle

🌺 Summer mission(poster or book, phonics homework)

Thank you very much for helping your child to complete their summer mission✨ We are very looking forward to see it and having fun with K1 friends again!!😍

See you tomorrow at AMICUS!! 💗💗💗

Yehey! It’s summer break. But before that, we had a really fun day.

We received bunches of banana from G2 parent. Kinder friends were amazed to see green bananas turning into yellow. So, yesterday we ate bananas during snack time.

After that, we had water play.

Then, lunch time! Itadakimasu 🍱

Autivity & Gardening

K1 friends learned about many plants by reading botanical illustrated books. Then they chose their favorite plants and made a Plants Book. From next week, we will be divided into a tomato group and a cucumber group, and we will start group learning to learn more deeply. We also do our best in gardening!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone 🙂
