こんにちは！ビクトリアインターナショナルスクール総務のKです！

先日PreSchoolClassはレッスンで「ひも通し」にチャレンジしました。

ひも通しで遊ぶことのねらいはなんでしょうか。
いくつかある中の３つのねらいをご紹介します。

【1】手先の器用さの訓練に

小さな穴に紐を通す作業は、手先の発達を促します。自分の意志で指先や手首を動かす訓練になります。

【2】集中力を身につける

繰り返し柔らかいパーツに紐を通していく動作は、集中する力と習慣を身につけます。

【3】達成感と喜びを感じる

何度も挑戦してうまくできた時に子供は達成感を感じます。
それを先生に見せて一緒に喜んでもらうことで、喜びも感じることができ、結果自己肯定感にもつながります。

この中の２にもあるように実際全員が、カメラマンK（私）も驚くほどの集中力で、わき目もふらずに取り組んでいました。

やっと出来上がって笑顔で先生に見せに行くところがとっても可愛かったです！

Merry Christmas from our Basic and Advanced classes! 

🎄🎄🎄

We had our annual Christmas party and it was a blast.

We made ornament crafts,  played Christmas games and made Christmas cookies. We even had a surprise visit from Santa and he brought all of the girls and boys a present!

We look forward to seeing you again next year and fingers crossed that Santa visits us again! 🎅🏼  -Starr♡

Hello everyone!

It’s been a wonderful festive month here in Kindergarten!

At the beginning of the month we decorated our Christmas tree with ornaments, ribbons and bells!  Everyone decorated it so nicely.  It really helped kick off the holiday spirit.   We decorated the door with candy cane paper and hung red and green tinsel everywhere. 🎄

Everyone loved dressing up as Santa when we made a Santa hat craft.  Some children wanted to be a Christmas elf so we had some green hats as well. ⭐️

We had our Christmas recital and party last Friday.  Stay tuned for photos from that day. 🎅🏼  -Starr♡

Everybody had so much fun at the Christmas event on Saturday!

Children who were a little shy during the last event have become so brave this time round and joined in in all the fun!

Maybe it was cause we had a surprise visit from a very jolly person…

There is still more fun to be had this Friday and it will be our last big event before we relocate to our new home!

Thank you everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to the event and we hope you all have a lovely Christmas!

Surprise!

今日の動画はプリとプリプリの午前中のStudyTimeです。

いつにも増して元気いっぱい英語の歌を歌い、先生からの英語での問いかけに答えていました。

1歳のベイビー達も一緒に手の振りを出来る様になってとても楽しそう。
私達も頬の緩むひとときです。

We have entered December and the kids are already waiting for the man in red to bring them some presents!

Some of the children talk about wanting to see a reindeer and some talk about wanting to eat their favorite food.

Some have not even seen snow for the first time yet so here’s hoping they get a chance to this year!
Until then, they get to enjoy the autumn leaves a just little longer. - Gary
