We competed to see who could spin their Anpanman craft top the longest. We split into groups for the preliminaries, and the winners advanced to the finals!! At the “Ready, set, go!” signal, the child whose top spun the longest won a giant Anpanman gold medal. The other children received Anpanman medals as “You Tried Your Best” awards, and everyone looked very happy☆

The Bigkids children showed off their calligraphy skills, which they practice every week. Each child chose their favorite subject as their theme. Though they've only been learning calligraphy for less than a year, I was amazed at how skilled they all are. Every year, the Bigkids write the sign for the graduation ceremony in brush pen, so I'm looking forward to seeing this year's as well.

Santa Claus brought presents to our Christmas party. He was a very cheerful and fun Santa, but some children thought, “I want the present, but Santa is scary~!” They received their gifts while crying their eyes out, then hurriedly fled the scene☆ Naturally, their faces in the commemorative photos with Santa were in terrible shape ( *´艸｀)

We decorated candles with dried berries and other elements on a base of greenery like cedar and hiba. If you add water to the oasis, they should stay fresh until Christmas Day. Enjoy your candles this Christmas!

We decorated the wreath with pinecones and cotton using wire. The children seemed to like the little Santa hats, trying them on their own heads before attaching them to the wreath and showing us with expressions asking, “How's this?” and “Cute, right?” So adorable♡

Without hesitation, they dug away with shovels in soil they'd likely never touched before. As sweet potatoes came into view, their energy surged and they dug even harder. The potatoes they dug up were then used in a team competition for ‘Biggest’ and ‘Longest’. The winning team was thrilled to receive special Anpanman patches made by the staff! ☆ We sincerely thank all the parents who participated for their tremendous help.

Sports Day was held at the Egayama Elementary School gymnasium. Performing in an unfamiliar place in front of so many family members, the children were all nervous and seemed shy, but they tried their very best. During the physical education presentation, they performed their trampoline, mat, and horizontal bar routines with confidence. Also, everyone danced energetically and looked really cool. They looked very happy to show their families the results of their daily practice
