Hello everyone,
Here’s another fun week here in Meadow. We enjoyed our inquiry about sea animals. We had a fun adventure underwater watching the video about “Rainbow fish”. Before watching the video, we asked the students what they should do. They showed being principled by listening, not talking, and sitting nicely. They were able to name the sea animals they saw in the video.
メドウでは引き続き、海の生き物についての探究を楽しんでいます。今週は「にじいろのさかな」のビデオを一緒に見ました。ビデオを見る前には、よく聞くこと、おしゃべりをしないこと、きちんと座ること、などのお約束を確認。キラキラ光るにじいろのさかなやその仲間たちに歓声をあげながら、Seahorse, Octopus, Starfishなど海の生き物たちの名前も、先生と一緒に言うことができました!

After watching, we made our own Rainbow fish. We showed the picture of the Rainbow fish and the students named the different colors it has. We cut the origami paper and the students pick the colors they like. They boosted their grasping ability to pick and stick them on the paper plate.
鑑賞後は自分たちだけのにじいろのさかなを作りました!絵本を見ながら、好きな色の折り紙を選び、ノリの付いた紙皿に貼り付けます。選ぶ折り紙の色や貼り方により個性が出ていて、その子その子の「にじいろのさかな」がとてもよく表現されていました。なんともかわいいにじいろのさかな達、メドウクラスの廊下に飾ってありますので、参観日にぜひご覧になってくださいね!

We did the sea animal body matching to build recognition and visual memory. We stuck the half-body on the wall, and the students looked for the half and matched them. They boost their confidence as well as concentration skills. Well done Meadow!
認識力と視覚記憶力を養うために、海の生き物のマッチングゲームを行いました。生き物のイラスト半分を壁に貼り、生徒たちはもう半分を探してマッチングします。よーく観察しながら、これだ!あった!と嬉しそうにイラストを完成させてくれました😊よくできました、メドウさん!

We did the flood evacuation drill in each class. To get an idea about floods, we watched a short video. The students reacted to what they saw and said “It’s scary!”. We then explained that they have to stay with their teachers follow the instructions and wait until their parents come to school and pick them up.
各クラスで大雨、洪水を想定した避難訓練を行いました。洪水ってなんだろう?と理解するために、みんなで短いビデオを見ました。「雨!」「いっぱーい!」「怖いね!」と感想を言ったり、じーっと見入ったりと、それぞれビデオの内容をよく理解していた様子でした。実際にこうなった場合は、先生と一緒にJAまで避難したり、お家の方に迎えに来てもらうんだよ、とお話もしました。

After the rain, we refreshed and played in the yard. The students had a blast playing with their friends and exploring around.
雨が上がった後、私たちはリフレッシュして園庭で遊びました。メドウさんたちはお友達と遊んだり、畑や遊具の周りを探索したりして大いに楽しんでいました。
