Today, all the classes learned about animals again!
今日も全てのクラスで動物について学習しました！
In the Little Diamonds Class, the students were so excited to knock on the door of the farm house box and see what kind of animals would come out of the door! What do you know, out came theElephant, Tiger, Pig, and Duck
Little Diamondsクラスでは、ファームハウスの扉からどんな動物が出てくるの、とってもかわくわくしながらドアをノックしました！象やトラ、ブタやアヒルが飛び出しました～！
In the Brilliant Crystals class, the students reviewed the names and cries of animals. They did perfectly on this topic!!
Brilliant Crystalsクラスでも、動物の名前やその鳴き声を再度勉強しました。皆、全部覚えてましたね！！
After we did music and movement, bowling games and rubber band chain making, we reviewed the Food Chain in the natural world. The students completed the Food Chain worksheets with stickers and learned which animals eat which animals or plants.
歌にあわせて体を動かしたり、ボーリングゲームや輪ゴムつなぎをした後、食物連鎖について復習しました。そしてワークシートを完成させながら、どんな動物がどんな植物や動物を食べるのか学びました！

The animal themed month has started for everybody at Sparkling Sapphires, and they are having so much fun!
We’ve started making animal crafts (rabbits for today) and learning new songs focusing on many different animals. Everybody’s highlight for today was learning “Old Mcdonald had a farm”
Everybody was laughing, clapping and dancing around. It seems everybody is able to enjoy this song, no matter what generation you’re from
In our speech classes, we are currently practicing the classical holiday tune “12 days of Christmas”
We were all admittedly worried that we had perhaps set the bar too high, as the song contains several sophisticated words, but this past week has been a very pleasant surprise, to say the least.
Everybody is doing so well, it feels like we’ve got our own glee club at Lucky Kids! Singing is definitely one of the best ways to learn a language, and now that we’ve found out our kids in speech class do not dislike singing that much, the possibilities just continue to grow Please shower your children with praise, they are doing so, so well.
現在スピーチクラスでは、クリスマス会に向けて12 days of Christmasという伝統的な歌を練習しています。
歴史のある楽曲な分、歌詞も難しく、最初の頃は少し基準を高くしすぎたかもしれないという心配が多少ありましたが、ここ１週間で不安が全て安心、そして期待に変わりました。
Starting from today, the central theme for our classes will be farm animals. When a child cannot recognize an animal by it’s name, the easiest way to explain is to voice the cry of the animal, but we’re teaching them the English versions Bark as opposed to wanwan, meow over nyaa, and cock a doodle doo instead of kokekoko!
We’ll also be practicing songs for our upcoming Christmas show and the kids are practicing hard, so please look forward to it! The pictures below are of them doing arts and crafts – today they made a duck! A new friend started attending our Dazzling Rubies class from today
本日からテーマが「牧場での動物」に変わりました。名前を言ってもどの動物か子どもがわからない時は、やはり鳴き声を聴かせるのが一番ですよね。僕たちは日本のではなく海外で教わる鳴き声を教えています。ワンワンではなくbark bark、ニャーではなくmeow、こっけこっこーではなくcock a doodle dooです（笑）
またクリスマス会に向けての練習も増えてきます、一生懸命練習をしますので乞うご期待下さい♪写真は本日の工作の様子です。アヒルを作りました。また、今日から新しいお友達が増えました！よろしくね（＾－＾）
It is already November!! Time flies! The topic of this month is Animals. All the activities including words, songs and crafts have become something to do with animals. The sounds that animals make are different from the ones in Japanese, so students will learn the different sounds of horses, sheep, pigs and cows. The story books are about animals. The students made sheep craft and colored animal sheets.
早いものでもう11月！11月のトピックはAnimals（動物）です。単語や歌、工作も動物に関する内容に変わりました♪ 英語での動物の鳴き声は日本語とは違うので、馬やヒツジ、ブタや牛など、色々な動物の鳴きまねをしてみたり、動物の本を読んだりしています。工作も動物にちなんだものになり、ヒツジをつくったり動物の塗り絵を楽しみました：-）
Students learn Action Words. It is one of their favorite activities.
動きを表す単語も勉強しています！子ども達の大好きな時間の一つです♪

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!
Today, we had a lot of fun through various activities in Sparkling Sapphires Class. Please check it out!
今日はSparkling Sapphiresクラスで色々なアクティビティを通してとても楽しく過ごしました♪ご覧ください！

Last Saturday was an action packed class for us. What with our friends who came for trial lesson, we had a total of 12 students! The kids had so much fun singing their favorite Halloween song, “knock knock Halloween”
It was also the 4th birthday of Iris, teacher Stuart’s daughter. Everybody sang happy birthday and took a picture together. It was a really good day, even our relatively shy students could be seen opening up a little!
先週の土曜は賑やかの一言に尽きます！！♪ 体験レッスンとして参加してくれたお友達も入れたら、合計１４人のキッズという大人数でクラスをしました。終始盛り上がっていたわけなのですが、特に人気だったのが振付豊富のKnock Knock Halloweenでした！また、生徒の誕生日会もしました。皆でお祝いし、最後に写真を撮りました。普段から物静かな子も活発になってくれていて、本当に素敵な一日でした（＾－＾）

We welcomed three new friends today in Sparkling Sapphire! Everything was new to these three boys, but they had fun playing with teachers and other friends!
Lots of fun activities were waiting for the Sparkling Sapphire class today. In the morning, we went to the park to play. Girls enjoyed playing on the slide and swings while boys were mostly playing with the sand.
Two fun activities were waiting for the kids for Choice Time. They practiced opening and closing jars and pouring water into the cup from juice cartons. The teachers were surprised to see how the kids can do well with these activities!!!
After listening to a story called “Go Away Big Green Monster”, the kids made their own green monsters. Just looking at the faces of each monsters, we can tell they have different characters.
Great job Sparkling Sapphires!! We will have a fun time again, next time!
今日も楽しいアクティビティが目白押しのSparkling Sapphireでした。午前中は公園へ行き沢山体を動かして遊んできましたよ！女の子はブランコと滑り台を楽しみ、男の子たちは砂場で真っ黒になるほど遊ぶ姿がみられました。
午後のチョイスタイムは二つのアクティビティがあり、一つのテーブルはビンの蓋を閉める練習、もう片方のテーブルではジュースの容器から水をコップに入れる練習でした。皆それぞれ上手にでき、先生たちもビックリしていました！お母さんの姿をよく見ているんですね！
Go Away Big Green Monsterという絵本を読んでもらいました。とても楽しい絵本で、子ども達もすっかりリッラクスモード。絵本を読んでもらった後は自分たちのGreen Monsterを作りました。それぞれが違うキャラクターを持ったモンスターに仕上がりましたよ。
今日も楽しい一日でしたね。また次も楽しい時間を過ごしましょうね！
