Rainbow Nagano: Summer is here!

The weather is getting hotter and we get less rain this week. While we only had a few school days this week, we still going to enjoy our summer life at school before the holidays. As for this week, we present you the amazing moments of Rainbow playing at the pool outside and the gym lesson. Rainbow kids will never get bored of playing with water every day, therefore we first check the weather (if it is rainy we will not play outside). Once the weather is good for the pool, we asked them to change their clothes into swimsuit. As usual, after we changed, we did some stretches and warm up so that we are physically prepared for the pool. The teacher explained the rules on what not to do and ensure everyone acknowledge them before we proceed to the shower. All the kids were excited even before entering the pool, they cooperated and listened to the teachers! Well Done! After the shower, they enter the pool one by one without pushing their friends and cutting the lines. The pool was the most exciting time throughout the day, each of them enjoyed it very much.

The gym lesson is definitely the time where everyone in the Rainbow are able to move around with their body. How can we miss the gym lesson? For this week, we did a lot of physical movements with the gym mat. We first did some warm up and the instructor called them one by one to do the exercise on the mat. We saw them lining up nicely to wait or their turn, it was really happy for us as the teacher because they are growing more independently. We did the balance swing, which we moved front and back with our legs up. Next was the walking with 4 legs, we used all of our hands and legs to move on the mat. After that, we walked on the slope safely with the assistance of the instructor. The kids tried their best to balance themselves. Lastly, we ran around the mat, the videos are included in this blog, please feel free to watch them. The kids were really energetic during the gym lesson. Until next time, see you!
