【Kodomoen】 Feeling the presence, Feeling the presence, Feeling the presence

Even when we're working alone in the Sukusuku station (staff room)...
We feel like someone is here and have no clue why...

When I go to the places where I feel like…

What are you doing?

Look! There's someone here!

If you go to the direction where you feel the presence…

In the centre of Yumenomori…
The second floor is also a playfield.

As expected, there are people here!

I think I'm starting to feel other peoples presences…

They are connected with their designer by a colourful string. You are getting better at working together!

They're there!

I can clearly feel another huge presence!
When I was invited to go…

It's like "Takigyo" (Waterfall Power Training), but this is not as quiet.
You're supposed to get wet!

Hey, they're playing in the rain!
Rather than playing in the rain, they're playing with the rain!
They play in the rain using the rain as a kind of play equipment...

As I wrote in a previous note, it makes me happy to see them do things they can only do at this age…
I think this is what it means...
 
You live under baseless rules like "Don't play outside on rainy days." or "Sometimes, let's feel the rain and have fun!''
Feel the rain to the fullest, and observe what's going on outside on a rainy day…
The sounds and smells of a rainy day are something that tickles the five senses...
This experience increases the value of play…
Through this experience, they gain a lot of "feelings"!

There are wonderful experiences and things to learn that can only be experienced on rainy days!
 

“Are we going outside?”
Huh! When we see children looking at each other in shock, we, as the adults, feel like they shouldn't play outside on rainy days...


Although the days are still hot, we can already feel a "little autumn" from how the children play…

Art is a sign of Autumn
You are getting better at working with your hands.
These colours…
Maybe this will become my favourite drink?
Maybe thats what I said!
Flowers of Autumn!
Like, don't like, like, don't like…
When I do this, the last one is always "don't like"…
Music is a sign of Autumn.
They are really interested!

"Feeling the presence" (Hitoke)…
Can also be read as "popular" (Ninki)…
 
There are some popular ramen shops that have long lines...
I also have a favourite shop. When I go, there are always people there who I've seen before...
 
Maybe that's what it means...
When I say it's popular, it doesn't just mean that people come from here and there...
It means that there are a lot of regulars…
 
 
Yumenomori has many popular places for children…
It's crowded with regular children! Here, there, and everywhere…

From now on, locals and many other people will come to see Manabiya Yumenomori… They will become fans of the children of Manabiya Yumenomori… over and over again. We hope that many of you will visit us and become regulars, and before you know it, our school will become a popular learning place.

That's how Manabiya Yumenomori's unique reputation is born…
