This week, we used the freshly fallen snow to roll big snowballs and build a large snowman.
Even though the snowballs were heavy, the Rainbow class children worked hard together to roll them. When the snowman was finally complete, they stood beside it with big smiles on their faces.

They were also very curious about the ice that had formed on the pond. It cracked with a sharp sound, almost like breaking glass, and they enjoyed observing the sound and texture. Some children threw large, flat pieces of ice back into the pond and watched closely to see what would happen.

Through these experiences, they fully enjoyed the wonders of winter nature.

今週も降り積もった雪を使って、大きな雪玉を転がし、立派な雪だるまを作りました。
重たい雪玉も力いっぱい転がしながら、みんなで協力して完成させた雪だるま。出来上がると、その隣に並んでとてもうれしそうなレインボーさんたちでした。

また、池に張った氷にも興味津々。パリッと割れる様子はまるでガラスのようで、その音や感触を楽しんでいました。大きくて平らな氷を池に放り投げ、「どうなるかな？」とじっと見つめる姿も見られ、冬の自然を存分に味わっています。

This week, the children created some Valentine’s Day crafts. They are becoming more skillful at using glue and stickers, and we could see them working carefully and thoughtfully on their projects.
They folded heart-shaped washi paper and added colorful paint to different sections, creating beautiful rainbow-colored hearts.
After the paint dried, they finished their artwork by adding their handprints. When opening the paper, the Rainbow class children were curious to see how the colors had changed and blended together.

今週はバレンタインデーのクラフトをいくつか制作しました、糊やシールの扱いも上手になってきており丁寧に取り組む姿がみられました。
ハート型の和紙を折り、さまざまな面にカラフルな色をつけて、レインボーカラーのハートを作りました。
最後は、乾いた虹色のハートに手形を押して完成です。紙を広げるときには、「どんな色になっているかな？」と変化に興味をもち、ワクワクした様子のレインボーさんたちでした。

See you next week!
