今年度より、新しく日本語クラスを担当する松本りりと申します。 私は日本語ネイティブですが、台湾にルーツを持っています。家族との会話は日本語と中国語です。 子どもの頃から家族の仕事の関係で、台湾や北京、アメリカなど海外で生活していました。その経験を活かし、多様な子どもたちに関わる教育機関などで教師やコーディネーターをしておりました。アブロードインターナショナルスクール大阪校では、日本語を学習するクラスがあります。出身や言語環境の違いに関わらず、すべての子どもたちが日本語や日本文化を楽しく学べることを望んでいます。 また多様な文化を尊重し合い、自身のアイデンティティと豊かな感受性が育つように、子どもたちが安心して伸び伸びと成長できるお手伝いをして参ります。どうぞ宜しくお願い致します

Last week we held an orientation dedicated to our Primary Years Programme for prospective families. Cick the photo if you're interested in seeing what was discussed.

Exploring Science Under the Stars: Grade 3 and 4 at Bando Kobe Science Museum

On Tuesday, June 25th, our Grade 3 and 4 students visited the Bando Kobe Science Museum as part of their Units of Inquiry, exploring scientific topics in depth.

Our students arrived excited and curious at the museum, immediately immersing themselves in the world of science and technology. The museum’s interactive exhibits perfectly complemented their classroom studies. Throughout the day, our students acted as investigators and explorers, asking questions and connecting their learning to what they've studied in class. This trip truly brought science to life for them, providing hands-on exploration of the topics covered in our classrooms.

The highlight of the museum visit was undoubtedly the planetarium show. Our students were thrilled as they entered the planetarium and settled comfortably for a captivating show that took them on a visual tour of stars, planets, and galaxies. This experience vividly enhanced their understanding of space and astronomy, making their classroom studies more tangible and exciting.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Bando Kobe Science Museum for this enriching experience. Their planetarium show ignited a passion for science and exploration among our students, and we eagerly anticipate more exciting learning experiences in the future.

Abroad International School hosted a vibrant Japanese cultural festival, bringing the essence of Japan to their campus. Students enthusiastically participated in a variety of games inspired by Japanese traditions, immersing themselves in the lively atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the festivities. Alongside the games, students savored authentic Japanese festival foods and snacks, adding a delicious touch to the cultural experience. The highlight of the event was a captivating performance of the Bon Odori dance by local artists, showcasing the grace and rhythm of this traditional Japanese dance form. The festival not only celebrated Japanese culture but also fostered a sense of community and appreciation among students and participants alike.
