Month: June 2018

On Sunday 17 June we had a drum contest at Nagoya Geijutsu University with the Beanstalk students.

The students rehearsed Thunderstruck by AC/DC and Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins several times before the main show.

Everyone performed amazingly during the live performance.

We came third place out of all the other participants!

As an international school, Beanstalk is glad to introduce you to our new interns coming from France, Mr.Axel and Mr.Gautier!

Hello everyone! We came from a University in Rodez (south of France). We arrived in Nagoya in May and we will work at Beanstalk until August.

 

 

We are here to assist students and teachers during classes and different school events.

 

We also provide French lessons for kids, currently they are learning a French song which is already quite popular among students.

 

We would want to underline the warm welcome which we received from the school’s staff, students and parents, who have largely facilitated our integration at school.

 

This internship experience is going really well and we hope it will be the start of a great story between our two countries!

Between 3/19 and 4/3, students were able to improve their English by performing fun activities around the theme “Mythology and Fairy-Tales“.

We have done a variety of fun events and activities for the children, where they could use their imagination to think about what could happen next in their stories.

You can find below a summary of our events.

 

3/22 : Our students completing their first glass art workshop held at school.

 

3/26 : We held a traditional tea party event at school!
All the students were present and could enjoy delicious tea and cupcakes.

 

3/29 : Children aged 4 and up visited the Aichi Bokujo Farm, we had the chance to make our own butter and finally, we enjoyed a delicious BBQ !

 

4/3 : Children aged 4 and up had the opportunity to admire the Okashi no Oshiro. It was great to see a castle for ourself like in the fairy tales. Children were able to practice their cooking skills by making their own cookies.

 

As always, this spring school was really rewarding for children. They returned at home with a lot of fun stories to tell, and a head full of memories!
