子ども達の大好きなウォーターファイト！最高に楽しい時間を過ごしました！We were so excited to finally be able to go to Yokiso Park to have water fights. Let’s cool off in the hot summer!

覚王山インターナショナルプリスクールでは日本の伝統行事も英語で行います。年少Hummingbirdsクラスでは七夕のお願い事を短冊に書きました。短冊の飾りも自分達で作りましたよ。 動物園スタッフになりたい！お姫様になりたい！ 皆さんはどんな願い事をしましたか？ “I want to be a zookeeper,” “I want to be a princess!” What dreams do we have? Hummingbirds enjoyed their craft and made a wish!

覚王山インターナショナルプリスクールでは子ども達が喜ぶイベントを毎月行っています。今月はパジャマデー！子ども達はお気に入りのパジャマで登園しました。 We love pajama day at KIPS! Everyone was excited to come to school in their comfiest set of PJS. From Hatchlings to Eaglets, the children enjoyed napping and strutting down a red carpet to show their pajamas to their classmates and teachers.

イースターがやってきました！覚王山インターナショナルプリスクールでは平和公園のメタセコイヤ広場でマラソン＆ネイチャーデーを行いました。マラソンを走った後はみんなが楽しみにしていたエッグハント！その後は虫を捕まえたり、ネイチャーウォークをしたり最高のお天気の中、最高に楽しい1日を過ごしました。We love Easter! Students at Kakuozan International Preschool enjoyed a fun day at Metasequoia Grove in Heiwa Park running a marathon, looking for bugs, going on nature walks and most excitedly, having an Easter Egg Hunt!The winners of the special eggs received a prize from the teachers. What a fun-filled day!

The Parrots students enjoyed a fun day at the park playing with new friends and practicing hanging and rolling on the bar. Let’s enjoy our time together growing and learning together.

Our littlest preschoolers are called the Hatchlings and they love playing and learning every day. We enjoy going to the local park or open field and exploring nature when the weather is good. Recently Hatchlings are loving playing in the dirt, looking for bugs and chasing after bubbles. After a fun time outside, we continue the fun inside with singing and dancing during our Circle Time lessons.

Our elementary students love Halloween and this year we had an amazing party complete with crafts, trick or treat, a haunted house and simple cooking activities. Their costumes were awesome too!

覚王山インターナショナルプリスクールでは、万が一、大きな地震が起こったことを予測し、年に2回保護者の方々にもご参加いただき引き取り訓練を行なっています。スクールは親御さんのいない中で大切なお子さんの命を預かる場所でもあります。どんなことが起こっても子ども達の命を守り、安全に親御さんに子ども達を引き渡せるようこのような訓練はとても大切になります。今回は授業中に地震が起きた設定です。地震が起こったら子ども達と先生はテーブルの下に隠れます。先生達は万が一のために笛を持っています。第1避難所であるグラウンドまで防災頭巾を被って避難し、そこで保護者にお子さんを引き渡しました。全員が先生達の指示をしっかり聞き、本番のように避難ができました。 This month at Kakuozan International Preschool, our preschoolers had a big earthquake drill. During class, the teachers practice with their students by hiding under tables and blowing the whistle. We then walk to a nearby field and await our parents arrival. It was just like a real drill so we were proud to see our students walking quietly and listening to their teachers. Good Job!

覚王山インターナショナルプリスクールでは秋の遠足で名古屋水族館に出かけました。今回は自由が丘駅で集合し、電車に乗って水族館までみんなで行きました。電車の乗るのもワクワク、水族館に行くのも楽しみでしょうがない子ども達。イルカショーを観たり、シャチやベルーガ、魚達に出会い子ども達は最高の1日を過ごすことができました。 Our preschoolers (Eaglets, Parrots and Hummingbirds Class) enjoyed a wonderful day at Nagoya Aquarium! We met up nice and early at Jiyugaoka Station and caught the train. At the aquarium, children enjoyed watching the dolphin show, eating lunch, greeting the orcas, belugas, watching the feeding time and exploring together. What kind of fish and different animals did we see? The train ride back was long and many of us fell asleep. Good job everyone! It was an awesome day!

覚王山インターナショナルプリスクールのクリスマスコンサート(お遊戯会)が近づいてきました。子ども達は12月のコンサートに向けて歌やダンス、英語劇の練習を始めています。写真は去年のクリスマスコンサートです。 It’s that time of the year again when preschoolers at Kakuozan International Preschool start practicing for the annual Christmas Concert. This event is one of the biggest events at our school and children from our toddlers Ducklings class, all the way to our Eaglets are busy learning new dances and plays. Thank you to our parents for always supporting by preparing beautiful costumes. We are looking forward to upcoming rehearsals! Last December 2021 the Parrots and Eaglets students performed plays (The Gingerbread Man, and The Elves and the Shoemaker), while the Hummingbirds and Ducklings danced in the cutest outfits. What dances and plays will we enjoy this year?
