Hello, everyone!
We hope you’re having a fantastic week so far!
It’s been a busy week for Aurora`s, but an exciting time for us as we’ve been preparing and practicing for the Sports Festival. From planning the details to getting everything just right, we’ve had our hands full — but we’ve also had a lot of fun along the way! Stay tuned — we can’t wait to share more with you soon.
This week, we had a special treat during our exploration of Line of Inquiry 2: How people and animals are connected and help each other. A guest speaker visited us — and they didn’t come alone! They brought along their adorable and incredibly sweet dog, Ram. We are incredibly grateful to the parents who supported our learning journey — your encouragement means the world to us. A special thank you for letting us meet your adorable dog; it brought so much joy to our day!
We’re also thankful to our friends who generously shared their frogs and lizards — what a fun and fascinating experience it was to learn up close.
Once again, a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who made this experience so memorable!
Ram instantly stole our hearts with his gentle nature and soft fur. We had the chance to feed him and spend a little time connecting with him — and it was a truly heartwarming experience. Two Shooting Star students also introduced their own pets, sharing stories and showing just how special the bond between humans and animals can be, as well as how they care for and feed them.
Through this experience, we began to see more clearly how animals can provide emotional support. Ram helped us feel calm, joyful, and loved — reminding us of the unique ways animals enrich our lives, and frogs gave us intense feelings and scared us.
What an unforgettable day! We had our very first field trip — together with our friends from Shooting Star — to Suzaka Zoo, and it was nothing short of amazing. The excitement was high from the moment we arrived, and the entire day was filled with fun, laughter, and learning. We began our adventure by visiting the farm animals. The children were thrilled to see goats, a donkey, ducks, geese, chickens, reindeer, sheep, horses, quail, and so much more up close. It was a great opportunity to connect with animals we often only read about! As we continued exploring, we encountered some of the zoo’s wild and exotic animals — including a tiger, a bear, an eagle, and even a kangaroo! But one of the biggest highlights? The penguins! The kids couldn’t get enough of their adorable waddling and playful dives. If it were up to them, we would have stayed there all day! Although we had to move on to see more animals, the joy on everyone’s faces said it all — it was truly a fantastic and memorable day. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure!
This week’s Music lesson was all about sharpening our listening skills in a fun and interactive way! We explored rhythm and coordination using four brightly colored boards. As the music played, our teacher would call out a color, and we had to quickly tap the matching board in time with the beat. It was a lively and exciting activity that helped us tune into both sound and movement. Everyone had a great time, and we can’t wait to do it again!
Thank you for visiting our blog. See you again next time!
May you have a blessed weekend!
