Kinder friends good job!
K1 (Playdough) Muchi Making
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! 🙂
This week in K2…
We enjoyed our last calligraphy class with Mr. Nakasone. Mr. Nakasone taught K2 friends many different kanji. Students wrote their favourite kanji and completed our Happy New Year 2021 calligraphy artwork.
Pottery project- We started making magnets using clay. We met Ms. Hasegawa, our Amicus Pottery teacher. We learned about making clay pottery.
Our marathon tomorrow will be postponed but we have enjoyed practicing every day. We look forward to next week. Students will to their best next week.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
あけましておめでとうございます！Thank you again for all of your support in 2020. We hope your family had a safe and enjoyable winter break. We are happy to see the students back, ready for more learning projects and more fun!
We gave “Happy New Year!” greetings to our school guard, Mr. Nakama, Ms. Masami, our Librarian, Ms. Maehara and our school Office staff, and our school nurse, Ms. Uehara.
We enjoyed playing outside and flying kites.
We learned how to write new years greeting cards (年賀状) and send them to each other
For Story Time we listened to a new years picture-card story (かみしばい).
K2s are enjoying learning more sight words and working in their phonics books.
