Greetings,

Welcome to our first blog for the month of December!

This week, we had a puppet show at ISN Minami campus. “HOBOS” came to capture the heart of the whole ISN community and took us into an exciting world with their fun talk and performance. The story was about Chuko’s Wedding and the base story was “The Bride of a Mouse.” Everyone was fascinated by the puppet show and was curious about the characters that appeared one after another. Chuko, the mouse’s father wanted to give her daughter to the strongest man in the world in marriage. But, it turned out that the perfect match for her is Chuta, also a mouse. We all loved to see something that we knew was not real, but seemed to come to life before our eyes.

今週は、みんなが楽しみにしていたパペットショーが南松本キャンパスにやってきてくれました～😊「チュー子ちゃんの結婚（ねずみの結婚）」という昔話に、みんな身を乗り出して楽しんでいました💖

We had a Gym lesson and for the first time, we played with jump ropes. The students pretended that jump ropes were snakes, and they had to jump without stepping on them. Students engaged with excitement while keeping in mind to remain communicators all the time by listening to instructions.

ジムレッスンでは、冬の定番？縄跳びの練習が始まりました✨まずは初期の段階として、縄を踏まないように飛び越えることから始めました。年長さんになったら大繩が跳べるようになるのかな😊

For Phonics, we learned the -ox word family; fox, pox, box, sox, and lox. After a short recap of our previous lesson and class discussion, students were tasked to answer the matching type worksheet by themselves.

Finally, we had so much fun playing in the park and we got the chance playing with Milky Way class. We also spent time playing in the schoolyard.

そして、そして、暖かかった日を見つけて、久しぶりに南部公園へ！落ち葉の絨毯を見つけて、思いっきり遊んできました🍂冬本番手前の楽しいひと時でした😊

Have a fantastic weekend everyone.
