K2 friends are now learning about different countries as well as their plants, animals and language. Last Tuesday, we went to Tropical Dream Center to learn more about the different plants around the world. We also made postcards and decorated them with dried flowers. K2の子どもたちは現在、さまざまな国の植物や動物、言語について学んでいます。先週の火曜日、私たちは世界中の植物についてもっと学ぶために、熱帯ドリームセンターに行きました。ポストカードも作り、ドライフラワーで飾りつけしました。
🌿It was indeed a wonderful experience for our K2 friends.🪷

Our Kinder friends have been learning English everyday. Today, our K2 friends challenged and tried to show what they have learned so far. But before that, we relaxed and danced first.
Then, we proceeded with our QUIZ TIME.
All of our K2 friends were especially amazing and impressive today. Everyone received their certificate of participation.
Hooray to our winners.
GREAT JOB K2 FRIENDS!!! You are all wonderful.👍
After our event, we ate and played outside.
💖Let’s continue playing and learning together K2 friends.😊
