Daily Life at Beanstalk International School
This months theme is about animals.
And our recent zoo visit enabled the children to learn about animals effectively, foster cognitive development and promote empathy and compassion.
Observing and discussing animals create an interest in conservation and the realization that animals too have feelings and emotions.
Check out some of their cute photos with the zoo animals!
We had a great time on our annual trip to Higashiyama Zoo!
From the morning it was hot and sunny, so we made sure to take plenty of water breaks as we trekked around seeing animals from all over the world.
Big and small, fuzzy and scaly, we love them all! We ate our packed lunches with our classmates and teachers, and then were ready for another round.
Finally it was pick-up time, when the students excitedly told their parents all about the animals they saw.
Thanks for joining us for a great day!
Happy Mother’s day to all the lovely, loving moms.
Every last one of you is amazing!
Boys’ Day is a holiday that celebrates how our children have grown so big and healthy in the past year.
We celebrated by having a special snack of kashiwa-mochi and of course, decorating the school with lots of Koinobori (carp windsocks.)
We hope that our boys grow up strong and resilient just like the carp.
Take a look at our colorful Koinobori we made altogether
Have a lovely golden week off.
A new school year means opportunities to try new things.
The new Robby Rabbit students tried gym class for the first time!
They did so well getting changed all by themselves for the first time and putting away their clothes.
Everyone loved stretching and bending with their gym teacher.
We are already looking forward to our next gym class.
The month of April is almost over.
Our young pals are doing fantastically well!
We’ve been having a great time while also learning a lot, and we want to make a lot more great memories with you all.
Our planet is an amazing place, but it needs our help to thrive!
Let’s make our world a happier, healthier place to live.
Happy World Earth Day!
We are extremely happy to welcome everyone to the new school year!
The smiling faces coming together and having a fun time learning, exploring and many more is a reason for celebration because it means a new step towards a wonderful future.
Hooray for everyone!
We had a great day visiting Morikoro Park!
It’s so much fun experience nature. Learning about nature helps us understand why we need to protect it and our beautiful planet.
After seeing lots of preserved plants and insects in the nature room, our elementary students went on a nature walk with a guide who taught them all about the native plants and animals.
Kindergarten students went on a shape hunt for leaves and flowers of all different shapes, then we got to play with those shapes inside kaleidoscopes to see the changing patterns.
After exploring the outdoors, we had a yummy picnic lunch of burgers and fries!
Then we got to play outdoors on the grassy field until it was time to leave.
