Currently, Kindergarten is working on a project about “The Eye.”

Last week, a K4 student, T, kindly brought in an anatomical model of the human eye. This valuable model was borrowed from his grandfather, who is an ophthalmologist.

The children were highly engaged and gathered around the model with great curiosity, carefully observing and exploring it together. During work time, they were able to hold it at the research table and examine it from different angles. This hands-on experience led to many discoveries that would not have been possible through books, photographs, or online resources alone.

The children were deeply fascinated by the complexity and delicate structure of the eye, and their observations naturally led to further questions and new insights. It was clear that their understanding was expanding through direct experience and shared exploration.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to T’s family for kindly sharing this meaningful learning opportunity, which greatly enriched the children’s inquiry into the topic of “the eye.”

現在、Kindergartenでは「目」についてのプロジェクトに取り組んでいます。先週、K4のTくんが人の目の模型を持ってきてくれました。この貴重な模型は、眼科医であるおじいさまからお借りしたものです。
子どもたちはとても興味を持ち、模型のまわりに集まって熱心に観察していました。ワークタイムでは、リサーチテーブルで実際に手に取り、さまざまな角度から見ることで、図鑑や写真、インターネットだけでは得られない多くの発見があったようです。

子どもたちは、目の仕組みの不思議さや精巧さに改めて驚き、そこからさらに多くの気づきや問いへとつながっていきました。実際に見て触れる経験を通して、理解がより深まっている様子でした。
このような貴重な学びの機会を提供してくださったTくんのご家庭に、心より感謝申し上げます。
