Here is the glimpse of our October and November Birthday Party.
Enjoy watching 🙂
Have a wonderful day 🙂
Zakimi Castle Field Trip
It was a cloudy morning and a little rainy but we decided to go ahead and enjoy our field trip to Zakimi Castle and Yuntanza Museum.
We had many questions and we learned a lot about Zakimi Castle and about life in Okinawa during castle times.
Life in Zakimi Castle times…
We enjoyed touring the museum. We visited a student art show. There were so many interesting pieces of art work made by students from elementary school to junior high school.
We visited a professional art gallery as well. We met the painter.
We enjoyed touring the grounds and seeing the view from the top as well.
We have been practicing how to interview Zakimi Castle guests in Japanese and in English. We were excited to have the opportunity to speak with tourists from America (California), Shiga-ken, Kanagawa-ken, Tokyo, Okayama-ken, and around Okinawa. K2s introduced themselves and asked questions like “Where are you from?” or “Where in Japan are you from?” or “Where in Okinawa are you from?”
We had a great field trip to Zakimi Castle. In the afternoon we drew our favorite memories. Please ask your K2 about it!
K1 Update: Sports Day and P.E.
Last month, we had our Sports Day.
Few days after that, we played with the balloons that we used as decoration during the Sports Day.
After this, we showed our appreciation to the Gym that served as our place for Sports Day practices, P.E. lessons and other playtime by cleaning up the facility.
Now, we are using different kinds of ball games for P.E. to continuously develop their muscles, endurance and strength.
Good job K1 🙂
Kinder Sports Day
What a beautiful week to have a Sports Day! We had great weather and the students themselves really did shine!! We made great memories.
GOOD JOB K2!!!
Many Junior High students and Amicus teachers helped support our Sports Day. Mommy, Daddy, Family, thank you so much for your great support, too!
Pray for our Sports Day
K1 friends drew the pictures of what they want to do their best at. Although our Sports Day was postponed they are still looking forward to doing their best.
Ｋ１の子どもたちは、スポーツデーで頑張りたいことを絵に描きました。スポーツデーは延期となってしまいましたが、全力でその日を迎えることをとても楽しみにしています。
We hung the “Teru Teru Bozu” and prayed for no rain for our Sports Day next week…
部屋には大きな“てるてる坊主”を吊り下げ、来週のスポーツデーには雨が降らないことを祈りました…。
Good-bye October…
We took a nature walk to collect nature materials for our art activities. We also picked up small garbage around the school grounds. Then we went to get manure from the horse stables to help our vegetables grow.
We learned about the “butterfly pea” flower and did a science experiment, soaking the flower and changing the color of the water using vinegar, shiiquasa, and baking soda. It was so interesting!
In Calligraphy K2 started learning about kanji!
We went to Yomitan to harvest sweet potatoes. The day before we learned about how sweet potatoes help our bodies and how to harvest them.
We enjoyed riding on the Amicus bus- some friends for the first time!
It was a beautiful day to harvest sweet potatoes! We appreciate our farmers!
After harvesting the sweet potatoes we ate lunch and played at the park in Zampa.
Before boarding the bus we were able to walk to Zampa Light House and take a memorable group photo.
We had so much fun!
Halloween/Costume Day ②
We did a “Halloween Stamp Rally” outside after reading a story book about Halloween. Our Kindergarteners enjoyed variety of games prepared by teachers in each station!
ファッションショーの後はハロウィンの絵本を読み、屋外で“ハロウィンスタンプラリー”活動を行いました。それぞれのステーションが異なるゲームを用意していて、子どもたちはとても楽しんでいました。
Literacy Station: Alphabet Game
P.E. Station : Ball Toss Game
Math Station : Dice Game
Social Studies: Animals around the World Matching Game
Life Skills: Quiz ～ “What does plant need to grow?”
What a great day to end October! 🙂
