Each class performed songs that they had been practicing for weeks and they all did an excellent job. The crowd was especially appreciative of the Deedee Deer class dance number, with loud cheers and applause like we had never seen before from the parents.

Of course after the lunch party and performance we hit the streets for our Trick or Treat Parade. Along the way we stopped at a retirement home and put on a show for the friendly residents, and this year, even some of our talented mothers put on a rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. This year we took a new course, and ended up in a nearby park.

Everybody had such great costumes and we very much look forward to Halloween next year so we can do it all over again, only bigger and better!

Spring field trips 2011

mosaic-kodomoland
Springtime is a great time for field trips, and after our recent annual trip to Higashiyama zoo, we went to a few more places in the beautiful Spring weather, before it gets too hot.

Robby and Deedee classes recently went on an excursion to two places-  Todagawa Kodomo Land, and Nagoya Port. As you can see from the photos, everybody had a great time.

mosaic-port

去る6月18日、ロビーラビットクラスとディーディーディアクラスのお友達全員で「とだがわ子供ランド」と「名古屋港」へ出かけました。今年は予想外の早い梅雨入りで、あいにくのお天気でしたが、ラッキーな事に屋外で遊ぶ時間は曇り、室内プレイスペースの時間は雨…と普段の行いのおかげか、それぞれの場所を楽しむ事ができました。

2011 Zoo Trip Report

On Friday last week we were very lucky to have fantastic weather for our annual trip to Higashiyama Zoo. Despite it being mid-Spring, it was quite warm and a perfect day for a trip to the zoo.zoo 2011 mosaic

The oldest class, Deedee Deer Class traveled to the zoo from Ueda by subway, which entailed changing trains twice and riding three different train lines. Despite the trains being very full due to peak hour, the children had no problems whatsoever  getting on and off the trains and were very well behaved.

Busy final month of school year 2010

We had a very busy month at the end of the 2010 school year at Beanstalk International School

missyclass_yearend_2010

As we approached the end of the 2010 school year, with the graduation of the upper Deedee Deer class looming, we shared many fun activities throughout March that we think will make treasured memories for the students and also for their parents.

Hinamatsuri (Girls Festival)

Hinamatsuri craft
For the Hinamatsuri festival (March 3) we all made beautiful Odairi sama and Ohina sama dolls, for displaying them according to a custom that started during the Heian era.

Hinamatsuri is also known as Girl’s Day in Japan, and you can see from the look on the boy’s faces below that they were waiting for Boy’s Day which is May 5th.

The boys don't look too happy with their Hinamatsuri craft :)

Farewell trip

Throughout the year, the Deedee Deer and Robby Rabbit classes took part in a lot of activities together and some strong friendships were formed. So for this year’s farewell trip, Robby Rabbit class came along to enjoy one last excursion as a group before some of their friends graduated.

Year End performance practice

This year during the year end/graduation party, in addition to our usual musical and dance numbers, we decided to challenge ourselves and put on a play!
2010 end of school year performanceThe name of the play was “Stone Soup” and the students put a lot of hard work into practicing their lines.  Of course they also practiced the songs and dances, as you can see below.

2011 Farewell Excursion

On Thursday March 10th, Robby Rabbit and Deedee Deer classes went on a field trip to Kuragaike Park and the nearby Toyota City Traffic Safety and Learning Center.
traffic_safety_mosiac

It was a lovely spring day, if a little cool. First we went to Kuragaike Park and played for a while and had lunch.

After lunch we moved to the Toyota City Traffic Safety and Learning Center where we learned things like how to cross the street safely, and also about railway crossings.

There was a real-size model town with streets, houses, shops, roads and even a railway and rail crossing.
2011 Farewell Field Trip

間もなく年度末を迎えるビーンストークでは、卒園するお友達との最後のスクールトリップに出かけました。

鞍が池公園で思いっきり遊んだ後は、交通安全学習センターにて横断歩道や踏切の渡り方、自転車に乗る時の注意などを署員の方から丁寧に教えていただきました。

これから学校へ通うお友達は、教えていただいた事をしっかり守って、安全に登下校してくださいね！
