The Shokoji Nursery School Hatogaya branch held an Obon Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 prevention measures, parents were not able to attend this year's event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of large events where parents and children can interact together has decreased, so in order to allow parents and children to have as much fun together as possible, a joint parent-child project was created at the entrance of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set off big fireworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents also cooperated by making handprints to look like fireworks when their children were dismissed from school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small hand-shaped fireworks made by the children and larger hand-shaped fireworks made by the parents and staff were launched into a spectacular display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the day, the whole kindergarten was filled with a festival atmosphere! We played shopkeepers with festival music playing in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Welcome!" cries echo throughout the store, as children sell homemade yakisoba noodles, shaved ice, and candy apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I take a bite of the shaved ice I bought at a store. It looks delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the yo-yo fishing corner. The kids are taking on the challenge with serious expressions on their faces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 1 year old class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said "Welcome!" elegantly, wearing the twisted headband that was all the rage in the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end, we also tried out the gachapon machine. We were curious to see what would come out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the large "Hatogaya Fireworks" was completed, which was immediately visible upon entering the entrance, the children became even more excited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also heard conversations like, "The Bon Festival is coming soon!" and "I'm looking forward to it!"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the day, the area was bustling with the sound of festival music in the background and energetic calls of "Welcome!"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the children in the nursery, from 0 to 5 years old, interacted with each other, making it a fun and lively Obon festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope to get all parents involved next year!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":2192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"swell_btn_cv_data":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[56,68],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-childcare","category-68"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sk-j.or.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
