今月の小学生クラスはサークル・タイムで日常会話に集中しています。 「今日は元気でした？」 と 「今日は何をしましたか？」 をメインに今月習っている単語を使いながら様々な文書を作っています。 今週は「何をしたいですか？」 と 「何をして遊びたいですか？」 をやっていきます。いろいろな答えかたがあるのでたくさん練習しています。 いつでも・どこでもお友だちと家族と練習しましょう！質問があるときはかならず先生に聞きましょう
This month we have been focusing on our daily conversation skills during our Circle Time. Our two main questions were “How was your day?” and “What did you do?” We have been learning to use our new vocabulary to fit the sentences. This week we moved along to questions, “What do you want to do?” and practiced making our own answers. Practice whenever and wherever your are with your friends and family! And always ask when you have questions

This month the Elementary kids will be covering a rather curious theme -mythological creatures. Although kids in Japan get plenty of exposure to them in comic books, anime or games, it isn’t every day they receive an in depth explanation of iconic mythological creatures and what they’re said to be capable of. We thought this would prove to be an interesting experience for the kids, hope they enjoy
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 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!
