Hello wonderful parents and friends,

Mornings and nights are getting cooler. Kids are also prone to getting sick. This week, some of our students have a runny nose but they are all active every day. Playing outdoors is a fantastic way for our students to build their immunity and stay healthy during this season. We walked to the park to stimulate circulation and immune function, which help ward off sickness. Meadow students practiced being principled by following the teachers’ instructions to prevent the risk of danger. They raised their hands when crossing the road and stopped when cars came. We spent almost half an hour playing, sliding down the slide, and chasing each other. They had their bodies kept warm and burned off calories.

朝晩は寒くなってきました。子どもたちも体調を崩しやすく、今週は鼻水が出る子もいますが、みんな毎日元気に活動しています。この季節に屋外で遊ぶことで、子どもたちは免疫力を高めて健康を保つことに繋がります。メドウさんは先生とのお約束をきちんと守り歩く事ができます。道路を渡るときは手を上げ、車が来たら止まり、ロープを離さず、しっかり前を見て歩きます。公園では約30分ほど、滑り台を滑ったり、追いかけ遊びをして楽しみました。

Park Day

Meadow students were excited to get on the bus to the park. The weather was perfect for strolling around the park, and we took a little time to walk to our target play area. We saw trains passing by, played with the fallen dried leaves, looked for dandelions, and chased each other. They had a blast and were longing to go again next time.

メドウさんたちは、公園へ行くバスに乗るのが楽しみでした。天気は公園を散歩するのに最適で、ゆっくり目的の遊び場まで歩きました。電車が通り過ぎるのを見たり、落ち葉で遊んだり、タンポポを探したり、お友達同士で追いかけたりしました。みんなとっても楽しんで、また行きたいね！と話しながら帰りました☺️

We started our lesson about the “Parts of the Body”. We sang the “Head, shoulders, knees, and toes song before we introduced the lesson and the students enjoyed singing while the tempo was getting faster. We introduced the body parts by showing the flashcards of the Head, shoulders, knees and toes eyes, ears, nose and etc. They pointed to their body parts when the teacher showed the flashcard. We also did the activity “sticking on the appropriate body parts on the wall” Well done, Meadow😊

「体の部位」のレッスンを始めました。レッスンを始める前に「Head, shoulders, knees, and toes」を歌いました。テンポが速くなるにつれて、どんどん盛り上がり生徒たちは大興奮でした！それから頭、肩、膝、つま先、目、耳、鼻などのフラッシュカードを見せて体の部位を紹介します。先生がフラッシュカードを見せると、生徒たちは自分の体の部位を指さしました。また、「適切な体の部位を壁に貼る」アクティビティも行いました。よくできました、メドウ😊

“Here’s to more joyful days and tiny adventures. See you in our next post!”

Keep warm and enjoy your weekend.
