After that, we made our camera.

Exploring our AMICUS FOREST :)

We invited Mr. Takeru Naka, an insect specialist in Okinawa.

Our K2 friends are learning about insects. Some of them shared what they have learned so far, like their favorite insects and life cycle of a particular insect.

Then, Mr. Naka gave us a lecture about some insects that are rare or can only be found in OKINAWA. Here are some of them:

After that, we went to the FOREST!!!

It was a mix of catching bugs, insects and other interesting living things in the forest. K1 friends observed many plants along the way, too. At the same time, they asked many questions and learned many things about what they saw there.

Here is a closer look of what we have found in the forest.

They are really interesting. Some of them can be touched because they are safe but a few things are dangerous so our Kinder friends were asked to be careful.

The smile on their faces and the curiosity in their eyes says it all. It was indeed an informative and joyful experience for our young learners 🙂

Lastly, our Kinder friends decided to catch and take care of this pregnant praying mantis 🙂 Good job Kinder friends!

K2 Insect Mission Game

K2 friends accepted our challenge.

They formed 6 teams and each team chose an insect to research on.

Mission # 1 : How does it spell?

Mission # 2 : What do they eat?

Mission # 3 : Draw two kinds of this insect.

After accomplishing their mission through research, they had a presentation.

After this Mission Game, they got more interested in insects. We are now continuing our INSECTS activities. We will share more with you in the future. 🙂

K2 Swimming

K2 friends went to a swimming school for two consecutive Mondays.

Last week, they met their swimming teachers and enjoyed being in the water.

Today, they had more fun swimming 🙂

If you want to learn how to swim, you have to be in the water. 🙂 What a wonderful experience indeed! ❤️
