The Life Skills Presentation was held on October 24th.

Since this was a major event, during the summer vacation the designers began planning the structure to make the presentations enjoyable for the children, brainstorming ideas like, “What if we do this?” or “How about that?”

After summer vacation, the Nobinobi group (ages 3–5) discussed with the children what they wanted to do, read picture books to explore their interests, and decided on the performances together. They also discussed roles, did read-throughs… some children even practiced at home.

The Sukusuku group (ages 0–2) structured their presentation to show what daily life at the kindergarten is like.

Here are some photos from the practice sessions.

The design and sizing of the costumes…
Practicing for the ensemble—what instruments should we use?
Creating the backdrop for the stage
Making acorns…
The full run-through rehearsal has begun at the venue!

Where should we play? Will the audience be able to hear us?

Give it your all in practice too!!!
Will I be able to respond?

　

Now, the big day has arrived!

They formed a circle and got fired up with team spirit!
Program No.1 was a musical performance of “Sanpo” by the Nobinobi (kindergarten) class.

The Ichigo (Strawberry) class performed “Kawaii Kakurenbo” (Cute Hide-and-Seek).
The Lemon class presented “The Wonderful Time of the Lemon Class.”
The Grape class performed “Jamboree Mickey.”
The Peach class performed “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”
The Apple class performed “The Giant Turnip.”
The Pear class performed “The Rolling Rice Ball.”
The staff watched warmly from the side of the stage.
We received comments from the parents and guardians.

Thanks to the children’s tremendous efforts and the warm support of so many people, the performance day was a great success.

The loud applause, laughter, and cheers from an audience of over 100 people filled the room and gave the children even more confidence.

Thank you for coming.
