This past month our Elementary kids have been trying out all sorts of Origami, with instructions given in English.
What started off with shapes soon led to dogs, cats, and even shurikens! They’ve come to understand terms such as fold, crease, turn over etc.
The picture below is one of the hardest ones they tried, we think they did very well!
This month, the Brilliant Crystals have been learning about their family. They have also been improving their ability to recognize and use sight-words in a sentence. This week we reviewed they, we and a. The students were able to use the sightword in a sentence, and link those sight-words to the correct picture. We also made a face to represent their father, mother and other members of their family. The students were very creative with their craft.
This month the Dazzling Rubies have been studying about families and relevant vocab, and much to their delight most of the craft they’ve been doing has involved using actual pictures of their family members.
In this article we’ll introduce one of the crafts they did – a ferris wheel they decorated and pasted photos of their family photos onto. They also took turns replying when asked by the teacher if they were afraid of heights, and if they’ve ever been on a ferris wheel.
Though the rainy season is not yet over, there are many hot and humid days that we just cannot stay away from the swimming pool!
Pre-Sapphires students started playing in the small pool, and they are all having a blast!!!!
Small kids are playing in the smaller pool with teachers, while bigger kids are playing in a 2 meter long pool!
According to the weather forecast, this summer is going to be very very hot. Let’s drink lots of water, and keep our kids and our selves away from having heat sickness.
This month’s kinders are focusing on Family this month. All our crafts are designed to help the kids identify their family members (mom, dad, brother, sister etc) and as most of them use actual photos of their families, excitement levels in our classes are quite high lol
A new song we have been learning this month is The Family song, and as it requires the kids singing to actually know the family vocab, this song has been very effective in getting the kids to memorize them.
The picture below is the song poster for My Family.
今月の幼稚園クラスの子達は家族をテーマに勉強しています。工作が全部家族のポジションを英語で覚えられるようになっており、殆どのものが実際に家族の写真を使うため、皆のテンションも高めです！
今月から新しく習い始めた歌で、The Family songというのがあります。家族関連の単語をしっかり覚えていないと歌うのが難しいので、毎レッスンこれを歌うことでだいぶ子ども達も覚えてきました♪
写真はマイファミリーのソングポスターです！

This month will be a very exciting one for our arts and crafts lovers in Elementary class. We will be making origami crafts, all of which the base is the Sonobe unit. However, as it is with our classes, instructions will not be in Japanese, so everybody will have to pay close attention. Through these crafts they will learn how combining certain shapes lead to another shape. 今月はテーマが折り紙と形、ということで工作好きな小学生は目がはなせません！作る折り紙は全部園部ユニットを応用したものでそこまで難しくはない（？）ですが、指示が全部英語で出されるので、集中力が問われます♪ 特定の形を組み合わせることで新たな形が生まれる この過程をクラフトを通して実感してもらえればと思います（＾＾） Lucky Kids ラッキーキッズ International academy in Kodaira 小平のインターナショナルアカデミー 「ラッキー」を子供たちに！ FB: https://www.facebook.com/luckykids.japan instagram: luckykidsofficial Don’t forget to like our fb page and follow our instagram!
Spending their time indoors on rainy days, and playing to their heart’s content in the sun on sunny days, our Pre Sapphires sure are having a good time. In the first photo, the kids are trying to sort the pom poms according to color, and our older kids were really quick to catch on the objective of the game!
The second picture is of them outside on a sunny day, feeding the fish. The kids were delighted to have the fish eat what they threw
雨が降る日は室内で過ごし、お天気のいい日は思いっきりお外で過ごすプレのお友だちです。 一枚目の写真は色ボールを仕分けています。少し大きいお友だちはゲームの趣旨をとてもよく理解していてます。 小さいお友だちは先生にお手伝いをしてもらいながら、正しい色の物をカップに入れていました。 二枚目の写真は天気の良かった日です。さっそくお外に出て、この日は川にいるお魚さんに餌をあげてきました。 自分が投げ入れた餌を魚が食べてくれるのが嬉しくて、大喜びの子どもたちでした。
