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! 🙂

The days are getting cooler and more comfortable. We hope you enjoyed Fall Break.

Term 1 is finished and we have worked hard to complete our big Term 1 project- the map of Okinawa. We will upload the students’ presentations soon.

Term 2 has now started and we are moving on with our learning about our Earth. We are now learning about our amazing country- JAPAN! We asked students what they know about Japan and then showed them many famous things around Japan.

In Phonics Time we are learning a new song: “Autumn Song”. Please enjoy singing together at home.

We finished our “What is in Your Garden” book. They enjoyed reading to teachers and to each other before taking it home. Please read together with your child at home. We are ready for the next book…

Students are also learning new sentences: I like to eat…/ He likes to eat… / She likes to eat… / We like to eat… / They like to eat… We will make our new book soon.

In Math Time we are learning to play board games with dice and learning how to make weather graphs.

Our Kinder Garden is still growing okra. We counted 16 okras growing now.

We cleaned our other vegetable bed so we can plant other vegetables.

Together with K1 friends K2s planted new banana trees!

We enjoyed Calligraphy Time with Mr. Nakasone. We learned how to do shiritori.

Enjoying lunch together

*We have many lost and found items in Kinder. Please let us know if something belongs to your child.*
