This year we are happy to again provide our popular Himawari Preschool summer Japanese cultural immersion camp for kids ages 3-8 (with 9-10 year olds by arrangement). Each week has a different theme, with age-appropriate groups working together towards that theme while using Japanese as a way to communicate with each other. For kids with some Japanese background, it’s a chance to use what they have, and for kids new to the language, it’s a chance to try Japanese in a fun environment.
ディズニーランド入場ゲート ことり組の色塗り、はな組の輪つなぎとお花、そら組のミッキーの色塗りで完成した入場ゲート。 そこを通るだけで、ディズニーの世界へ引き込まれ、子どもたちは歓声を上げていました。 Tokyo Disneyland Welcome Gate Kotori-class painted the garden, Hana-class made the origami chain and flower gardens and Sora-class colored Mickey. Just passing through this special gate, kids were drawn into the world of Disney and entranced.
ジャングルクルーズ ことり組、はな組、そら組がそれぞれ作ったものを合わせて、ジャングルクルーズの完成！ ボートに乗っていろいろな動物を見たり、滝の下をくぐったりと、人気のアトラクションとなりました！ Jungle Cruise: Kotori, Hana and Sora classes made the parts and put them together. Ride the boat and see the animals, or go under the waterfall. How exciting!
We started this “Frozen project” from a child’s wish: “I want to color Anna”. So, Niji-class made the Frozen castle by stacking bits of Styrofoam all together. They also made Elsa, Anna and Olaf of course! We set up the castle in Tokyo Disneyland as one of the attractions (“Ice castle tour”), and the Kittens and Leprecauns from St. Patrick’s Day also decided to visit!
