We love hearing the children say "Ittekimasu" ("I'm leaving").
We love hearing "Itterrashai" ("Have a nice day") as they walk away.

Excited to go outside, the children leave class.

"You're hungry arent you, Mr. Ladybug?"
The children think about what Mr. Ladybug might be thinking…
Mr. Ladybug probably wants his favourite food. Aphids! Lets go find some!

Because, we have decided to take care of you!

She found another "Fascination"…
This student is on her own adventure!!

She came back to class with a bunch of aphids, and more ladybug friends.

We spent a lot of time over the last 2 days playing with water.

"I wonder how the sweet potatoes were doing?" as the children planted sweet potatoes with their parents the other day.
From a casual conversation with a designer, they shared their thoughts on the sweet potatoes…
"You must be thirsty! Lets go get some water!"
So we put some water into bottles and headed out.

We saw a seedling that was very dry, so we made a promise to return.
There is a lot to learn about the farming process. We hope you can learn a lot from this!

We are exploring together again today,
because they haven't completed the expedition card from yesterday.
So…

It looks like you've completed your mission today!
Actually the designer couldn't find a cat…

"A cat? Where did you find one?"
"Over there!" they said.
We listened carefully…

The children were in trouble as they couldn't find a cat…
A designer from the older childrens classes "Mr. KimuJun" (Jun Kimura) pretended to be a cat!

Well well,
No matter how you looked at it, it was a cat so…
Did they discover a cat?
Thank you very much!

What kind of adventure will you go on next?
We are looking forward to finding out!

The Yumenomori cart has departed!

It's Friday…
We are tired from the past week.

They love going outside! Today's wind feels great!
We are almost at their favourite garden!

This child wants to go play, but is obviously too sleepy…
The designer gently hugs him, and lets him sleep for 10 minutes, so he can get some energy back. He was running around a lot.

We check the beans every day.

Everyone is in full force today!
We, and the children are so happy to see everyone together!

I hope everyone can go to kindergarten as well next week…
