AIS - Summer School

Hello Parents! This week in Abroad Summer School Sunrise class we explored the theme of SPACE! We all had a great time learning about the planets of our solar system. Improving our English communication, making new friends and inventing our own planets. In our art lessons this week we made rockets out of paper cups and used our creativity to create some really amazing designs.  We also experimented with sponges and paints to invent our own unique planets. In our maths lessons we improved our counting using the interactive whiteboard to practice counting up to one hundred! As well as helping all of our classmates to improve their counting in English. In our English lessons we explored and learned many English space words, names of planets and things we might find in space. As well as practising our morning greetings, common words and verbs. Everyone really enjoyed our pool times and had a blast cooling off in the record Osaka summer. I hope everyone is looking forward to

Hello Sunflower parents!      We had a great second week of summer school at Abroad International! This week we explored the theme Space. Students learned some interesting things while exploring this theme and they had fun collaborating through their learning and further developed their English skills.      Upper primary students explored a different topic each day. On Monday we brainstormed all we knew about space and developed questions we wanted to explore. On Tuesday we learned about the moon landings and how many astronauts have been to the moon. Wednesday we learned about the constellations and built our own constellations out of marshmallows and toothpicks. The topics of focus on Thursday were stars and black holes. Our final daily topic on today in class was the Goldilocks zone and alien life.      In math we used information about space to practice converting units of measurement and practicing some arithmetic. Students also spent some time learning two and three step e

Hello Sunshine Parents! We had a great Week 2 of AIS Summer School, where we learned all about the planets and life in space as an astronaut in the space station! For our cooking class this week, we made chocolate pudding in a ziploc bag and ate it out of the bag like astronauts. The boys and girls measured and mixed their own ingredients. The children's art activities focused on making various space themed art as well as a classroom size space station which the students designed themselves. We also made paper mache planets but they exploded! We also used paint splatters to make stars and drew our own constellations! We also cooled down at the park with some really fun water fights!  Hope  you have a great weekend and are for those of you who are coming back, see you next week for under the sea!

Hello Sunflower parents!      Summer school is off to a great start at Abroad International School! This week our theme was Heroes and Fairy Tales. We had a lot of fun exploring this theme and it created unique opportunities for students to learn, collaborate and develop their English skills.      Upper primary students teamed up with lower primary students to put on a performance based on the Folktale Peach Boy. In art class students created masks, costumes and a boat for the performance. In our cooking class we made dumplings like the ones Momotaro took with him and shared with the monkey, bird and dog on his adventure. We all had a good time as we learned about the hero Momotaro and his good deeds.      In math we used information about superheroes to practice converting units of measurement and practicing some arithmetic. Students converted from standard to the metric system and learned the difference in weight between a metric tonne and a standard ton.      For our langua
