七夕の飾り、紙芝居

2008.06.26
台風のような雨の中4組の親子が来てくれました。いくつもの星をつなげて七夕飾りを作りました。七夕は日本の季節の行事で中国もあるようです。思い思いのお願い事を家で書いて飾ります。紙芝居は「ニャンオン」で猫と月のお話です。子供たちはすごく喜んで、特に猫の絵に興味を持ったようです。次回は7月3日です。探検に行きます。目的地は戸室児童館です。雨だったら保育園４０３室で行います。お待ちしています。
Raining again today! Ever since we started the [Potato] - Let's Play Together - Parent and Child session, it has been raining... raining.... raining..... Despite the rain, 4 groups attended the play session today. A new friend from Denmark joined us for the first time. She had a hard time finding the place (the taxi driver could not find the place) but managed to make it in the end. For today, we used colored papers and made stars, drew faces on the stars and threaded a ribbon through it. In Japan, on July 7th, Japanese will make decorations, write their wish on the decorations and hang it on a bamboo stalk in their house. After everyone has completed the craft, we had a picture story telling session. The kids enjoyed the story about the Cat and the Moon. What a coincidence! One of the mother that attended actually borrowed the same picture story from the library and is reading it at her home. As usual, we read some English story books and danced and sang to the Hokey Pokey song and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes song. Next Thursday, if weather permits, we will have an excursion to the nearby Kids Community Center (Tomuro Jidoukan). Do come and join us. We will be waiting.
