Hello everyone! The last week of our Kindergarten Summer Program was nothing short of magical! Even though the days passed quickly, every moment was filled with laughter, discovery, and friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To all the amazing new friends who joined our Summer Program, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! \ud83c\udf1e Your smiles, energy, and excitement filled our days with joy and made this summer truly unforgettable. Every laugh, every new skill learned, and every friendship made has been a special part of our journey together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to more adventures, more learning, and more fun in the days ahead. Until then, thank you for making our summer shine bright! \ud83c\udf08\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finally had our most-awaited activity\u2014Shaved Ice!<\/strong> The students were absolutely thrilled, savoring every bite and asking for more. Sadly, time was not on our side, but we wrapped it up with huge smiles on our faces. Even as we moved on to the next activity, the Water Play<\/strong>, the children couldn\u2019t stop talking about the shaved ice. The joy and laughter from that moment will always stay in our hearts. It painted in our hearts the happiness we felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aurora had an exciting bus trip to Mamejima Park<\/strong>! We had a wonderful time splashing in the water, making new friends and playing together, enjoying the slides, and so much more. Meanwhile, Shooting Star interacting with Milky Way friends and did some craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a free craft activity<\/strong> using materials we brought from home. Before starting, we discussed how items that might have ended up in the trash could be transformed into beautiful creations. This activity not only encouraged us to think creatively about what to make and how to make it, but also helped us practise our thinking skills and strengthen our motor skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was another eagerly awaited day for Shooting Star as they headed to Obuse Park<\/em> with the Milky Way students for a fun-filled water play. Afterwards, they enjoyed the sweet taste of ice cream, returning with happy faces, excited to share their adventures and the flavors they tried. Meanwhile, Aurora had a blast exploring activities like mixing two colors, eagerly anticipating the results. Another challenge was transferring colored paper into a small container using a straw. It took us some time to master the technique, sipping the paper so it would stick to the straw, then carefully transferring it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
