At the beginning of February, we celebrated Setsubun. All the classes made eho-maki, thick sushi rolls. It was the first time for a lot of our foreign students to make and eat sushi, but many friends were able to roll it very well by the end of lunch time, and even had seconds and thirds!

 2013 Spring School ・ 2013年度スプリングスクール

spring1

春の訪れと共に、ビーンストークにもスプリングスクールピリオドがやって来ました。

spring2

今回は「健康な毎日を過ごすため」をテーマに睡眠や食事•運動の大切さを学び、将来自己を管理する事の重要性を唱えました。もちろん毎日オールイングリッシュの環境で過ごすことにより、お子様の英語力には磨きがかかり、様々なアクティビティーを通しお友達の輪も広がりました。

spring3

Along with the spring flowers, Spring School has come once again to Beanstalk. This time, our theme was “Living Healthily”. We are learning about the importance of sleep, nutrition, and exercise, and the need to control these factors by yourself as you grow up. Of course, each day has been spent in an all-English environment, and because of this the children are able to hone their speaking skills and meet many new friends through fun daily activities.

持ち寄りのランチパーティーでは、会場に並べきれないほどごちそうが並び、もう少しゆっくりランチを楽しみたかったと反省。来年はぜひもう少し長く食事の時間をとることにします!
At our lunch party, we had so many guests at our school and enjoyed a potluck lunch featuring dishes prepared by our preschool families.
