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.
