Fantastic fun for everyone at the Halloween party!

We got a new carpet in the Kindy. How cool is that?!

We visited our friends at Shiawase Kazoku and put on a little show.

We raised almost ¥200,000 in our Reading Marathon! We'll publish the final figure soon. And we had fun celebrating that at Family Fun Day. The treasure hunt was hot but we rescued that treasure eventually! Thanks to those who turned out the second time and our fantastic students who put on a great show!

We took a trip the the Kobe Bird Park (神戸花鳥園) with the preschool! 

First, we took the bus from school.

Then, we took a train.

Finally, we got to the Bird Park!!!

There were all kinds of birds everywhere!

"Hi, I'm a duck".

We watched a live bird show.

Watch out!

We also got to feed ducks and toucans.

Is that a baby ostrich? 

Lunch time!

After lunch, we got to touch some baby birds.

After a long, fun day, we were too tired to walk up the stairs to the train platform. 

We love reading time, we do it almost every day.It keeps our snake from getting too hungry too! Check out his progress below.

 

Snack-time reading from Jess, our visiting teacher.

We went to Tarumi Police Sation and Fire station to meet some of the most important members of our local community. Thank you to them. We had a fun day.

Our first Kindergarten graduation. We had a lovely day. The children sang and played for their parents and we shared a pizza lunch. The ceremonies were fun too! 

Warmer weather and we're doing lots of sping activities. We're feeling really bright and breezy!
