This is Shokoji Nursery School Akabane Iwabuchi Garden 😊✨
It's cold in the mornings and evenings, but the weather is comfortable.
Following the potato digging field trip for the toddler class the other day, the two-year-old class also went on a field trip.
The purpose is to dig up sweet potatoes and do athletics!
When we arrived at the sweet potato field, the first thing we did was greet each other.
In the 2-year-old class, there were some children who were not used to getting their hands dirty with tactile play, but thanks to the teacher's "kind and gentle childcare," the children were digging hard with both hands from the start of the potato digging.
Instead of thinking, "What if I can't do it...?", I thought, "I can do this now!", and by accumulating small "I've succeeded!", I have become strong and can now enjoy anything I try.
And when they found a big potato, they all joined forces and shouted, "Yoisho!"
As we dug up potatoes, we felt happy to see the children growing up and naturally helping each other out.
And what's more, in addition to the potatoes, we also harvested radishes, and the kids looked very happy💖
After the harvesting experience, the children went to a nearby playground, played on the athletic equipment, and ate the lunch boxes their mothers had been looking forward to making for them✨. Finally, they took a steam locomotive back to the nursery school.
It was a wonderful lunch filled with smiles and comments like, "It's delicious♡" and "Mom's cooking is the best!!"
Thank you for taking the time to prepare the lunch boxes despite your busy schedule. We are truly grateful.
We were a little hesitant to take the children on a long trip because they are only two years old, but thanks to the children's efforts and, above all, the teachers' daily childcare, it was a very enjoyable field trip.
