Traffic Safety Reminder-Shooting Star-June 17th-21st

Greetings,

This week our inquiry based learners have explored different topics which required their creative and critical thinking.

To start our week, the pediatric dentists came to school to inspect if tooth decay or any gum disease is present in our mouth. Everyone strived to be a communicator by listening well to what the dentist said and by doing what they were asked to do. Goodbye tooth decay!

今週のはじめには、歯科検診がありました。きちんと挨拶もでき、スムーズに検診が終わりました。来週は、この歯科検診とUOIをからめて、プラークアクティビティーをする予定です🦷

For our UOI, we focused on our roles at home. We played again the Yes or No game to answer the questions about our roles at home and placed the sticker on the Yes or No chart. Then, from the YES answers we reflected on which of those roles we can do at home by ourselves. Everyone lined up and pointed their answer/answers out on the chart and said it aloud like, “I can clean up toys at home by myself”. “I can get ready for ISN by myself” and the like.

UOIでは、お母さん、お父さんの役割のインタビューで行ったように、今度は自分たちのことについてYes or Noのゲームをしました。そして最後に、自分でどんな役割をもっと頑張りたいか、挑戦したいか考え、決めました✨✨

It’s time to learn more about traffic safety from the experts. The traffic division representatives came to school to educate us about road safety. We were reminded to sit in a car seat with a seatbelt, to hold our parent’s hands when walking at the parking lot, and the green light means it’s all right to go, but only after checking right, left, and right carefully to make sure it is safe. And when crossing the road, the traffic safety officers reminded us to always stay with adults. We strived to be thinkers and knowledgeable throughout the entire session. Then, we headed out to the school yard to practice crossing the road safely.

交通安全教室では、3つの大きなお約束を学びました。①チャイルドシートをしっかりしめること。②駐車場ではお母さんやお父さんと必ず手をつなぐこと。③横断歩道ではまず止まる。です。そして、おまけのお約束は「自分でカバンを持つ」=「両手が使え、お父さんやお母さんと一緒に手をつなげる」です。みんな真剣にお話を聞いて、お約束を聞くたびに、うんうん、とうなづいていました😊園庭では仮設の横断歩道を渡る練習。みんな手をまっすぐ挙げて渡ることが出来ていました✨🚥✨

Have a fantastic weekend everyone.
