Fire Station Visit 2010

On Monday October 18th, all the students at Beanstalk went on a field trip to the Tenpaku Fire Station.

署員の方に消火のデモンストレーションを見せて頂き、憧れの消防士さんユニフォームの試着、消防車の試乗などドキドキする事がたくさんありました。

We were treated to a demonstration of the fire fighting techniques and had a chance to do many exciting things like wear firefighter’s clothes and get inside a firetruck!

Our trip to the aquarium 2010

Our field trip to the aquarium
We had planned to collect chestnuts at a farm in Korankei for our autumn field trip this year. It rained the whole week before we were scheduled to go, so we resorted to “Plan B”, which was a  field trip to “Aquatoto Aquarium ” in Gifu prefecture.

秋の遠足は”栗ひろい”にチャレンジのはずが、あいにく当日雨が降りアクアトト岐阜へ出かけることになりました。

We were able to get up really close and take a good look at many fish, including very large and unusual fish from all over the world.

ランチは施設内のレストランへ。貸し切り状態だった為、いつものLunch Songを歌いました。食事の際はお店の人もびっくりする位お利口さんでした。

After viewing all the different types of fish and the seal show we had lunch at one of the restaurants at the aquarium complex.  We had the whole place to ourselves and we sang our usual lunch song, much to the delight of the restaurant staff.

When we were leaving, the manager of the restaurant ran after us to express how impressed they were at how well behaved our students were during lunchtime.

さすがBeanstalk students!!

Our trip to the zoo

On Thursday May 14th all three classes went on a field trip to Higashiyama Zoo. Some of the mothers from our Robby Rabbit class were kind enough to volunteer their time and come along and assist the teachers in looking after our middle class. We would like to extend a big Thank You to the mothers who came along and helped us.

Deedee Deer, our oldest class left their parents at home and found their way around the zoo all by themselves with Mr. Ricky. While looking at the seals and talking to their teacher in English, some children form another school were amazed to see Japanese children conversing all in English and asked them about it in Japanese. It was funny to watch the Deedee Deer students react to being spoken to in Japanese, they were unsure if they were allowed to speak in Japanese, as they speak English all day at Beanstalk International School 🙂

Our youngest class, Missy Mouse class came with their parents and as it was their outing they were very excited.

Everybody had a great time and we were all very tired at the end of the day. We are sure that all the students, and some of the mothers and teachers too, slept very well that night.

Fire Station Visit

On Thursday November the 22nd, both Missy Mouse and Robby Rabbit class took a field trip to a fire station.

We watched a demonstration of firefighters climbing a tower and rescuing someone from a fire. We also got to have a close look at and climb inside what is apparently the newest most modern rescue fire truck in Aichi prefecture.

There was even more excitement when an emergency call came in while some of the students were inspecting the inside of an ambulance. The alarm bell went off and we all had to scramble off the ambulance quickly so that the medics could drive the ambulance away to the emergency.
