This year’s sleepover event was full of swashbuckling fun! The theme was pirates and mermaids so boys enjoyed making a pirate hook craft and girls were adorable as mermaids with their own originally designed mermaid tail. We all ate dinner together followed by a walk in the dark to the local park to light fireworks. It was quite an exciting experience for many students! After sleeping all together in the school we woke up early and played a rip roaring exciting treasure hunt game to see who could open the treasure chest first. Who was the winner? For many students it was the first time for them to be away from home […]

This year KIPS students were very excited to go to Kidzania. We all met up early and caught a tour bus to Hyogo Prefecture where the Kidzania Koshien is situated. It took us a few hours to get there, but we all enjoyed sitting with our friends, eating lunch, snacks and playing games on the bus. Kidzania is a fun, educational centre where children can explore and try out different jobs in real life settings. After being separated into groups with an English speaking guide, we were so lucky to make rice balls,pizza, print out a real newspaper, pilot an airplane and learn how to mill rice. We even got […]

This year’s Summer School at KIPS was so much fun! The theme was “All About Nature” and the students enjoyed exploring different topics such as birds, rainbows and spiders. They even got to play with real earthworms and dissect flowers. We had a lot of fun cooking, singing, dancing, doing science experiments and crafts. Elementary students also went to Higashiyama Zoo, the Science Museum and Nagoya Aquarium for field trips and we all made many new friends. All students had a great time at Yokiso Park for their water fight trying to get each other as wet as possible. What a great way to cool off in this hot weather! […]

This month at KIPS preschool students are enjoying escaping the summer heat by having energetic water fights! Nearby Yokiso park is the perfect place for everyone to let off steam and cool down at the same time. Parrot and Eaglet classes joined together to hold exciting battles, as well as practicing road safety walking to and from the park. It was a wet and wild day for all. 今月、KIPSのみんなはエネルギッシュなウォーターファイトをして 夏の暑さを乗り越えています。 近くにある揚輝荘で、みんな熱くなってクールダウンしています。 Parrots（年中）クラスとEaglets（年長）クラスで、白熱したウォーターファイトになりました。 道中の交通安全ルールについてもしっかり学びました。 ウェットでワイルドな一日になりました。
