クリスマス模様 Christmas is in the air

クリスマスカードを色々な材料で作りました。色紙、鈴、星型に抜いた紙、ピカピカ光るテープ、モール、今回も写真のように個性豊かに仕上がりました。工作もだんだんその子の個性が出てきて面白いです。デンマークの方が紙を編んで作るクリスマスのハートを教えてくれました。私は第一段階の一番やさしいのを習いました。とても指先を使い注意深く作りました。ブログに乗せてありますのでご覧ください。来週は年賀状つくりです。日本の伝統的な便りです。
A new friend from China joined us today with her daughter. Welcome and do continue to join us. Christmas cards and Christmas decorations today. First, the kids are taught how to make a Christmas card　using a green card and decorated with shiny tapes, bells and stickers. After the kids are done with the cards, they played among themselves and we progress on to the next class which is to weave a patterned heart using 2 different color papers. This is taught by mother from Denmark. She can make really complicated patterns but for today, we started off with very simple patterns. As usual, we have story telling and singing and dancing in English. There will be a Japanese class party at room 403 (12 December) from 11 am to 2 pm. All POTATO members are invited. There will also be a party at room 202 on 13 December by the ViVi Day Care. Next week, we will be making New Year Cards. Do come and join us.
