Hirokoji Kids Halloween at Sakae Hiroba
We went to Sakae this past Sunday to perform at the Hirokoji Kids Halloween Event.
There were a lot of people watching and we were excited to show off our singing and drumming to everyone.
We’d like to thank everybody that came along on Sunday.
It was a great day and we are really looking forward to dressing up in our costumes for Halloween.
You can watch some of our performance right here:
Summer School 2019 – Camping
We all went camping during the final week of summer school.
Our first port of call was to go shopping and get some food for dinner.
When we arrived at the campsite there was a delicious curry waiting for us.
Some of us were very hungry!
To burn off some of that energy from our curry, we went swimming. The pool was lovely and cool which was a relief from the hot weather.
After swimming we went to the big field near our camp site to play a few games of capture the flag.
The student went against the teachers and claimed victory. Who knew 5-10 year olds could be so quick!
A few quick group photos after the game.
We were really sweaty!
Everyone was really hungry and we began preparing dinner.
We really enjoyed dinner. There was BBQ, yakisoba and we ate the lot!
After dinner we got a bath and into our pajamas.
Ready for a good nights sleep.
The next morning everyone was full of beans and ready for their day at the egg factory and dinosaur museum. (Which you can read about in our previous blog).
It was a great experience for everyone and we all enjoyed our time camping. We can’t wait to go again next year.
Summer School 2019 – Week 4
Our final week of summer school was jam packed full of activities and trips!
We went to the Nagoya Science Museum.
There was lots of stuff about the body and we recognized things we’d learned throughout our weeks at summer school.
Putting these organs in the right place was a piece of cake!
We also found many other interesting things in the museum. These leaves smelled really good!
Eggcellent
A big part of week 4 was the camping trip. We got to visit an egg factory and learned about the process of packaging eggs.
After trying out some egg packing ourselves we got to take some home!
Once the tour was done they provided us with a yummy lunch.
Giant Bones
Before heading back to school we stopped off at a dinosaur museum.
There was many interactive things to do in the museum. This one showed you what you’d look like as a caveman.
We even found some interesting puzzles to solve.
Meanwhile Back at Beanstalk…
We continued to lean more about the body.
We also got to make a sorbet and…
potato chips!
Summer school was a great experience for all of us. We learned so much about our bodies and what we can do to keep them healthy.
Thank you to all the students who attended and we look forward to seeing you again very soon.
Summer School 2019 – Week 3
Everyone came back to summer school after a two week break to continue discovering more about health and wellness.
This week was all about the bodies organs and what we can do to keep them functioning for a long time.
Our bodies require food for energy. The food we put into our mouths takes a long journey through several internal organs and makes…
poop!
The process of making poop can be a messy job.
The intestines extract all the good nutrients from the food and leave all the bad stuff for us to poop out.
Not everyone enjoyed recreating this process!
A Nice Day For Somen
With the sun shining and the weather hot we went outside to catch some somen.
Nagashi somen can be tricky to catch but some of us got our fill very quickly!
It wouldn’t be a traditional Nagashi somen day without smashing some watermelons!
Finding Out More About Health
We took a trip to a health museum to learn more about internal organs.
Did you know that water makes up more than 50 percent of the average adult’s body weight!
We all enjoyed our summer break and it was great coming back to do some really fun activities, especially making the poop!
Summer School 2019 – Week 2
We continued to discover more about health and wellness in our second week of summer school.
Lots of Blood
What better way to learn about blood than fishing through a pool full of it!
Well fake blood.
Did you know that your blood is made up of liquid and solids!
Everyone collected all the different parts that make up our blood.
It was a messy job but we learned that blood is an intricate part of our bodies.
Flex those Muscles
Muscles are interesting things. They keep us from being a blob on the floor and enable us to move around.
It’s important to keep your muscles nice and healthy. One way is to exercise. You can go running, play soccer or you can make your own weights and start lifting those!
Another great way to keep those muscles big and strong is too fuel them with food.
Tofu Factory Trip
Protein is an essential food group to help muscles grow.
Tofu is a great source of protein and we visited a tofu factory to learn more about how it’s made.
Everyone got to make their very own container of tofu! We even got to drink some of the soy that made it.
We know that eating the right food can help keep us strong and healthy and it was a lot of fun learning more about it in our second week of summer school.
