It’s spring school time here at Beanstalk and the children are learning all about the micro world of insects.

The best way to get to know more about the insect world is to get up close and personal with it.

The children went outside to collect different types of insects. It was a lot of fun searching for bugs and they caught a good selection. They brought them back to the classroom to study further.

They also started an ant farm which the DeeDee group are keeping track of!

Beanstalk Sports Day 2019

On Monday, February 11th, Beanstalk had its annual sports day held at the newly renovated Tenpaku Sports Center.

We had lots of fun games to play- running footraces, picking up balls, lots of different relays, and a Scavenger Hunt at the end. At halftime the children, mothers and teachers joined together to do cheerleading. Both teams practiced before the show to get it just right. Both teams did a great job showing their team spirit!

Happy New Year! 2019!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and are ready to start back at school in this new year! The whole Beanstalk staff wishes you a Happy New Year full of health and happiness for you and your loved ones.

This year brings about the last few months of the Heisei era here in Japan, and the beginning of a new one. We are so excited about the bright future this new era will bring.

On Wednesday 13th December 2018, the Beanstalk students, teachers and mothers took part in our annual Christmas concert. As with our previous events this was spectacular, exciting and amazingly well performed by all . 

After setting the stage the children started to arrive and we wasted no time in getting a rehearsal in.
