HAPPY NEW YEAR OF THE TIGER !
Happy New Year to all our Pre-Kindergarten families and the whole school community !
We trust that you all had relaxing winter holidays and a good start into the year 2022!
According to the Asian zodiac this is the year of the water tiger and will be defined by strength, fearlessness, loyalty, a strong sense of justice and good fortune in relationships as well as family life! What more could we ask for ?
Personally, my year started with many lively get-togethers of family and friends and my daughter’s coming of age ceremony which is such a wonderful and special celebration in Japan.
Events like this light up our lives, but also small, daily, bright moments make us happy.
The cheerful smiles of the Pre-Kindergarten children coming back to school surely brighten every room.
They eagerly embraced the news that this will be the year of the tiger, looking for tigers in books and matching them with our animal figurines.
The children then chose an image and crafted their very original tiger face plates which they then proudly displayed at the entrance to the Kindergarten area.
As our new unit will focus on animals and food we also listened to the song “At the Zoo” which features not only tigers, but a whole variety of familiar and interesting animals.
Starting with this song, we additionally listened to many other animals songs this week like “5 little monkeys”, “5 little ducks” and the children not only learnt new vocabulary and honed their math skills, but they also did lots of different animal movements and rhythmic exercises.
What a fun way to start this new year !
And with more friends joining the class in the near future, I am sure the Pre-Kindergarten class will absolutely ROAR !
DIE BESTEN WÜNSCHE FÜR EIN GUTES UND GESUNDES JAHR 2022, DAS JAHR DES TIGERS !
Yours,
