Month: August 2018

Our summer camping trip was at Tsukiyodani – Fureaino Sato.

After the long drive from Beanstalk we stopped to have lunch at Tachibanaya Ryokan for Lunch.

We went to catch fish after lunch.

We caught so many and had them in a BBQ.

At the end of the evening we sat around a camp fire listening to stories, singing and dancing.

Our next day started off with a big breakfast and a few games.

Later that day we made shaved ice and had ice cream.

We had a great time at summer camp!

With the temperature reaching 40c we needed something cool and yummy.

Somen!

We built a big somen slide in the garden and the students tried their best to catch lots of noodles.

After enjoying our somen we did a watermelon smash. Whoops, we forgot the blindfold!

The refreshing snacks helped us stave off the heat.

Space and Planets

We have been feeling the Sun’s rays this summer at Beanstalk and what better topic to kick things off in summer school than the planets.

The first two weeks of our natural science theme have been about space and planets.

At the end of July Mars appeared it’s brightest and was very visible. Its closest approach to Earth was on July 31. That was the point in Mars’ orbit when it came closest to Earth. Mars was at a distance of 35.8 million miles (57.6 million kilometers).

Handa Sky Museum

Sticking with our theme of space and planets we visited the Handa Sky Museum where we learned more about the universe.

We went into a huge planetarium where we learned about our solar system and beyond.

It was a really educational day out and we came back knowing a lot more about the universe we live in.

The hurricane has past and Beanstalk will be open as usual today.

楽しい夏休みをお過ごし下さい。

Summer is already here. This is also the beginning of summer school. And we can say that its starting in the best possible way!

 

During the following weeks the school lessons will focus on space, earth sciences and oceans. With the use of books and crafts, the students are very curious at the idea of exploring such interesting subjects.

 

On the last days of July, Mars is closer to the Earth. This is a nice opportunity to dedicate this week to the learning of our solar system!

 

The students where able to learn the specifics of the different planets floating around our sun in a playful way.

 

 

Speaking of sun, those days are also perfect to take a refreshing swim in the swimming pool!

 

But the heat didn’t stop us in our daily practice of English.

 

We learned a lot about space and we had fun together. This summer promises to be exciting!
