What is this? I know this… snail. Oh sooo cute. This snail is big! I can see the spider legs. The caterpillar… he’s eating! This is kamikiri-mushi (long-horn beetle). We can count… 6 legs. This is a tadpole! Spider… 8 legs?
「これは何?」「知ってる!カタツムリだ。」「かわいいね♡」「このカタツムリ、大きいよ!」「クモの足が見える。」「イモムシ…食べてる!」「これはカミキリムシだよね。数えたら 足が6本もあった!」「これはオタマジャクシ!クモは。。。8本足なの?」
Savanna was really excited about the new theme and unit on Minibeasts. Real insects, spiders and snails were brought into the classroom. Books, photographs and toys are included in the introduction as “provocations” in the IB curriculum. These artefacts help activate the children’s prior knowledge. In the IB curriculum, we believe that children are knowledgeable (one of the Learner Profiles). We build on, address misconceptions, and co-construct knowledge with the students as the inquiries deepen.
サバンナさんは、新しいユニットテーマである「虫」に大興奮!このユニットに合わせ、お部屋には本物の昆虫、クモ、カタツムリ等たくさんの生き物が飼われて、虫の本や写真、おもちゃも用意しました。これらの環境は、IBカリキュラムの導入部として子どもたちの「知りたい!」いう好奇心に応じて、多くの知識を与える事ができます。IBカリキュラムでは、学習者プロファイルのひとつとして、子どもたちはたくさんの事を知っていると考えています。探究を通じ、子ども達と共にいろんな知識を得ていきたいと思っています。

Minibeasts are invertebrates which are small animals without a backbone. These include insects (flies, beetles, butterflies and ants), arachnids (spiders, scorpions), myriapods (centipedes and millipedes), and gastropods (snails and slugs).
皆さまもご存じの通り、虫には様々な種類があります。ミニビーストとは無脊椎動物で背骨のない小動物で、昆虫(ハエ、カブトムシ、チョウ、アリ)、クモ類(クモ、サソリ)、無足類(ムカデ、ヤスデ)、腹足類(カタツムリ、ナメクジ)などが含まれます。ご参考までに下記サイトをご覧ください。

We wrote our wishes for Tanabata Festival and hung them on our bamboo branches along with the lanterns we made. (Please refer to last week’s blog for Tanabata story and song. https://matsumoto.isnedu.org/en/shimauchi-campus/savanna-blog/229622/) I wish for a drawing book. I wish to meet my Grandma and Grandpa. I wish that I can have magic! I wish for a kamikiri-mushi! I want to be Ariel!
七夕の願い事を書いて、作った提灯と一緒に笹に吊るしました。(七夕のお話と歌は先週のブログをご覧ください。https://matsumoto.isnedu.org/en/shimauchi-campus/savanna-blog/229622/)
「お絵かき帳が欲しい。」「おじいちゃん、おばあちゃんに会えますように。」「魔法が使えますように!」「かみきりむしがほしいな。」「アリエルになりたい♡」と短冊には可愛い願い事がたくさん書かれています。
