Amicus Kindergarten

Learning to play. Playing to learn. :-)

Kinder Holiday Crafts

Our Kindergarteners are learning and making many crafts to show their skills and creativity.

K2 friends made their Sports Day frames and pottery. They also made many Christmas ornaments that they brought home at the beginning of December. They also made/sewn their own Christmas bags and brought them home during Pajama/Winter Clothes Day.

Our K1 friends also made their bags using used clothes and snowflakes. They also brought them home with the presents inside during the same event.

After Christmas, New YEAR came! Since it is the YEAR of the RABBIT, K2 friends made their New Year’s Resolution at the back of their cute rabbit arts.

It is nice to see these smiles again 🙂 Happy New Year everyone. Let’s challenge more in making many arts and crafts this year!!!

✨Games with Mr. Teruya (K2)✨

Today, we invited Mr. Teruya again. 🤩

We walked around AMICUS and got palm tree seeds.

Each of them got 5 seeds. After that, we played “rock, scissors, paper”.

Later on, we counted how many seeds do we have left in our bag. Some friends didn’t have any, some of them won many times so they had a lot. 😊 

But the fun didn’t end there, we had another game. Each of them had 5 seeds again. They walked around, found a partner and hid some in their hands. They both said, “なんこ なんこ いーくつ!!!” Then, they needed to guess the total seed that Friend 1 and Friend 2 are holding. Whoever guess it right got all the seeds.

👍What a nice MATH GAME!!! Good job everyone and THANK YOU Mr. Teruya! 👏

Safety first! 👍

In any place, security and safety is the priority. That’s why we always remind our Kinder friends to learn and play safely everyday. In addition, we had safety drills and orientation held in AMICUS.

At the beginning of the year (MAY 2022), we had TRAFFIC RULES ORIENTATION. We invited the Uruma City Police Department to teach our Kinder friends about road safety.

They also taught us about taking care of oneself in case a stranger approach them.

Today, we reminded them of this. Please teach your child about this at home too.

We also had another lesson today by our nurse Miss Nakamura. She taught us to love our self and take care of our bodies.

Let’s remind everyone to be careful always and never leave your side. Be safe always!💕

K2 Fun Day 9.22.2022

K2 friends had many fun and exciting activities in September one of those is K2 Fun Day which has become one of their precious memory in their Kinder life! Before the event, teachers and K2 friends decided on the activities and schedule for that day together. After that, we prepared all the materials and decorations.

We made our original lanterns that we used on that night!

We also made our original tie dye shirt. Some of them experience washing clothes for the first time so they said, “It is difficult to squeeze! My hands hurt!” However, we look at it as their learning experience and good way to develop their fine motor skills, so please let them help you at home as well.

The day before the event, Mr. Teruya (てるやのおじさん) taught them how to make fire and assemble woods for the bonfire.

Finally, September 22nd came! We enjoyed obstacle relay, word challenge, soccer, dodgeball, K2 (Talent) Show and bonfire. Please watch the video below.
K2の子どもたちはこのイベントのために、友達同士協力して計画、準備を行ってきました♪
楽しいK2 FUNDAY でした!ご協力ありがとうございました。

It was a wonderful day indeed!

AMICUS FOREST Adventure

We are lucky to have had the chance to through the forest.

The most enjoyable part of it is that we have seen and caught many insects. We learned different kinds and names of INSECTS.

After that, we had the privilege to learn about some insects in Okinawa and ask more questions.

Thank you Mr. Naka for sharing with us your passion about insects. We love how you shared with us your interest about insects from your childhood, your experiences about insects and your knowledge about insects through your research. We really had fun today!
