防災月の9月、渚消防署の隊員さんをお招きして、全校生徒による本格的な避難訓練が行われました。地震が発生し、その後、火災が起こるという想定で実施されました。「地震だー！」の声にレインボーの子ども達は一瞬で緊張した表情になり、先生の話をよく聞いて身を守り、警報ベルと「火事だー！」の声に素早く避難することができました。避難した屋外では消防署の隊員さんのお話を聞き、地震や火災の怖さや避難の大切さを知りました。先生達は消火器の使い方を教わり、実習しました。緊張の訓練が終わると、大きな消防車を見学させてもらいました。
In September, which is Disaster Prevention Month, we invited members of the Nagisa Fire Department to conduct a full-scale evacuation drill for all students. The drill was conducted under the assumption that an earthquake would occur, followed by a fire. When the teacher said “Earthquake!”, the Rainbow children instantly looked tense, but they listened carefully to the teacher’s instructions to protect themselves and were able to evacuate quickly when they heard the alarm bell and the voice of “Fire!” After evacuating outside, they listened to the fire department members and learned about the dangers of earthquakes and fires, and the importance of evacuation. The teachers were taught how to use fire extinguishers and practiced using them. After the tense drill was over, we were given a tour of the large fire engines.
ジムレッスンがありました。スポーツフェスティバルを終えても、子ども達はエネルギーに満ち溢れています。身体を動かすことの心地良さ、チャレンジすることの楽しさ、達成する喜び等を感じているようです。散歩でも好奇心いっぱい、元気に歩き秋の景色や虫を見つけては教えてくれます。私達が目指す学習者像のひとつである Risk Taker (挑戦する人）として多くを吸収しています！
We had a gym lesson. Even after the sports festival, our children are full of energy. They seem to feel the comfort of moving their bodies, the fun of taking on challenges, and the joy of achieving. They are full of curiosity even on walks, walking energetically and telling us about the autumn scenery and insects they find. They are absorbing a lot as risk takers, which is one of the learner profiles we aim to be!
クラスにイゴール先生がやってきました！いつもと違う「朝の会」に子ども達は興味津々！イゴール先生とABCを学んだり、絵本を読んでもらって楽しく過ごしました。
今月のトピック「形」の学びも間もなく終わります。様々な形とその名前を知った子ども達は、誇らし気にその形について話してくれます。形に関連する遊びや活動も難なくこなしてしまいます。トピックが終わっても機会のある度に形について触れ、子ども達の知識欲や探求心を刺激していきたいと思います。
Mr. Igor came to our class! Our children were excited about our unusual “morning cercle”! They had a great time learning ABCs with Mr. Igor and he read picture books to them.
This month’s topic, “shapes,” is almost over. Our children, who have learned the names of various shapes, proudly talk about them. They also have no trouble playing and doing shape-related activities. Even after the topic is over, we will continue to talk about shapes whenever we have the chance, stimulating the children’s desire for knowledge and curiosity.
それでは、よい週末を！
Have a nice weekend!
