The wonderful display of scary scarecrows (かかし)lined up in the rice field of Komabano Koen inspired today's Playgroup theme. Who ever thought that Anpanman could be made look so fierce and used to ward off big bad crows! But colourful and fancy and all as those stuffed specimens are, they wouldn't have lasted our action-packed session this morning. How many times did we sing and dance to 'Dingle Dangle Scarecrow'? How many encores?? How many 'again's?? How many もいいかいs ?? We definitely earned our cups of tea afterwards!
Much to everyone's surprise, Kimiko san made it to PG today. Although it was great to see her in such great form, we all dearly hope that you will NOT be here for the next class and that you will be granted your wish of midnight labour! We're all thinking of you during this final countdown!
I think all the kids had already heard our story 'A Very Hungry Caterpillar'. This was a special request by Ricky. Any other special requests for storytime? Just ask!
And finally, there remains a mere 36 hours before the much anticipated Halloween Party. My five monkeys are getting SO excited now - just two more sleeps! We have games and treats galore and hope you all remember to bring some snacks to add to the party buffet.
See you soon...
