It’s become very cold in Tokyo, please keep warm and safe for the remainder of the year.

Thank you all so much for coming out to our Halloween party the other day, despite the chilly weather.
We were thrilled to see our kids having so much fun, and all their costumes were absolutely adorable too.
It was nice getting to know some of the parents we don’t get to see that often; we hope you all enjoyed the program as much as we did. Next up, Christmas!
先日は寒い中Lucky Kidsのハロウィンパーティへお越し頂き本当にありがとうございました！
子ども達もとても楽しそうにしていましたし、何より一人ひとりの仮装が可愛すぎました（笑）
普段あまり学校でお会いしない保護者の皆様ともお話できてとてもよかったです！少しでも楽しんで頂けたなら幸いです。さぁ、次はクリスマスですね！

On our last day of Summer school, there it is, what we’ve ALL been waiting for…(drum roll)
Summer festival!
For morning activities we made our snacks and drinks we would have for the festival. They all turned out really nice and many of the kids had second or third helpings.
Thanks to all of you parents who sent your kids, we were able to have a wonderful Summer course this year.
It was sad to see our new friends leave, but we were all able to say goodbye with smiles on our faces. See you all soon!
Our first “Cooking in English” lesson took place today.
We cooked Turon (Philippines’ Deep fried banana spring roll) . Mothers and children worked together and cut bananas, rolled them in sugar, wrapped them with rice paper, and fried them. We cooked several Turons but everyone finished almost all of them♪♪ The children wanted to play together more and did not want to go back home…. we really had a lot of fun, also many yummy memories
Let’s cook in English!

We had our first ever Christmas show on the 14th this month.
The kids had really been practicing hard since November, so we were anxious and but also filled with anticipation.
Everybody did so well, especially the ones that often cry or run around in class, we were so proud!
We threw this party in hopes of being able to show parents their kids’ growth, while having a cozy atmosphere at the same time so we are glad with how everything turned out.
This is a joint performance with everybody from Little Diamonds and Sparkling Sapphires. Kids from below 1 ~ 2 sang to jingle bells. They used shakers that they made in class. Despite being in front of a crowd of adults, everybody’s smiles shone through
Little Diamonds とSparkling Sapphiresとの合同グループです。１歳前の赤ちゃんから２歳のお友達が「きらきら星」と「ジングルベル」を披露してくれました！
手に持っているのは授業内のクラフトタイムで作った紙コップのがらがらです。沢山の大人の前でもなんのその。持ち前の可愛らしい笑顔をたっぷり見せてくれましたよ！
This is everybody from Brilliant Crystals. They played their mini drums to the song Bangedy bang bang, then proceeded to say what they wanted for Christmas. Finally they gave a skit based on their favorite book “my pet”
Despite having so many lines to remember, we were all surprised at how well everybody did.
そしてこちらは土曜日幼稚園クラスのBrilliant Crystalsのお友達です。ＢＣのお友達は”Bangedy Bang Bang”と言う歌を太鼓をたたきながら披露してくれました。その後、クリスマスにちなんで、クリスマスには何が欲しいかを発表してくれました。こちらはクラスで子ども達に大人気だった”My Pet”と言う絵本に基づいた劇でした。
台詞が沢山ある中、子ども達が間違うことも無く台詞を披露してくれいた姿にはとても関心しました。
The older ones from Elementary class are singing Little drummer boy in this one. They learnt this one really well, even though it had so many words that are hard even for adults to memorize.
Finally the speech class gave their self introductions as well as what they wanted for Christmas, in a slightly more wordy structure as opposed to the Brilliant Crystals. The whole point of this class is to nurture in the kids the confidence and skills needed to clearly state their opinions in front of other people, so the teachers of speech class were very proud at how imposing they were then they separately did their thing.
The program went by so fast, we loved every moment of it and we hope that you did too! It was so nice to see our students perform what they had been practicing for weeks and weeks. We’ll definitely step our game up for Christmas next year
Thank you so much to all of you who had contributed to our cause in any way.
こちらは午後のスピーチクラス。スピーチクラスの目標は自分の考えを相手に伝えられるようになる、人の前で発表できるようになるというものです。そのため、子ども達は自分の自己紹介も兼ねてクリスマスに欲しい物を皆の前で発表しました。とても堂々と発表することができましたよ。
そしてこのグループは”12 Days of Christmas”と言う、こちらも伝統的なクリスマスキャロルを披露してくれました。歌に出てくる言葉がこちらも難しかったということと、さすがに１２日間分を歌うのは長かったので”６ Days of Christmas”に歌を短縮して歌いました。とても言葉が難しいのに６番まである長い長い歌を間違えることも無く非常に上手に歌えていたのが印象的でした！
We had our first ever Halloween party at Lucky Kids on October 31st. Games were played and songs were learnt, and with a total of 32 kids, describing the event as “lively” would be an understatement!
The best part for the kids by the looks of it was the trick or treating. Our staff made arrangements beforehand and gave the treats to the employees of the nearest gas station, and we all went trick or treating. There’s nothing quite as exciting as taking a late night stroll with candies in one hand, a friend’s hand in the other. Seeing the smiles on their faces made us feel it was more than worth the effort. Thank you all so much for coming, and see you soon!
On the 9th of April, from 13:00 Lucky Kids will be on air@FM West Tokyo, so stay tuned
