We want to wish all our K1s and families a fun and safe Golden Week! Here are some pictures of us preparing for Koinobori.
Every year at this time koi (carp) wind socks are flown all across Japan. They symbolize wishes for the advancement or success of every child’s life. On May 5th Japan celebrates Children’s Day and enjoys watching these beautiful flags fly high.
We hope and pray for the success of all our awesome K1s!
From last year, now, K2 friends have learned about SDGs. They made posters to promote taking care and saving of our MOTHER EARTH. ๐

To help saving the earth, OUR LONG-TERM GOAL is to make compost by collecting banana, orange, and others compostable garbage that they our Kinder friends have after snack and lunch. The process involves decomposing organic material into a humus-like material, known as compost, which is a good fertilizer for plants.

We make compost to save the earth and to use this organic fertilizer in our garden in Kinder. Gardening is a part of our everyday routine. This year, we started growing different kinds of plants too.

This whole year project is very close to our heart so we will update often as soon as our new plants grow or when we plant again. ๐
Another goal came up so, we had a special meeting. After that, our K2 friends have decided to continue being earth savers. So, we will focus on one topic and starting this month our THEME is OCEAN.

K2 friends are really concerned with the ocean animals that they have learned so, they thought of taking care of the ocean. Thus, we asked them what would they like to do?

Student 1: Let’s clean up the ocean.
Teacher: Why do you want to clean up the ocean?
Student 2: Because if the ocean animals eat garbage, they will die.
This determination in them made us decide to plan our first field trip of the year. We coordinated with Uruma City Office about BEACH CLEANING ACTIVITY. But before that, we had a review of the segregation of the garbage that we may find on the shore.

Beach Cleaning Day: We did our best to clean up and of course, had fun after. ๐
After our field trip, we’ve discussed about our special mission “beach cleaning”.
Student 1: I got a lot of trash.
Student 2: I found many plastic.
Student 3: I am happy because I got some materials that we can use for Art.
Student 4: I am shock to see many garbage on the shore.
Others: We enjoyed cleaning the beach together.

The next day, we had garbage sorting activity using some of the trash that we have collected on the shore.
Some of these garbage were put in the garbage and others are useful for us so clean them up and kept for future use. What do you think can we do with these? Do you think they can turn into something beautiful? ๐
