What a great first day of this year’s OYIS summer intensive program. This week’s topic is all about festivals and today the students learnt about Midsommar, which is a Scandinavian summer festival. Students learnt vocabulary related to the festival, did some worksheets and made a craft. Students also had some excitement not related to the festival which was their pool time. All students received guided lessons based on their swimming level. We can’t wait to see everyone again tomorrow for some more fun activities.
今年のOYISサマーインテンシブプログラムの初日はとても素晴らしいものになりました。今週のテーマはお祭りについてで、今日は北欧の夏のお祭りであるMidsommarについて学びました。生徒たちはお祭りに関連する単語を学び、ワークシートをしたり、クラフトを作ったりしました。また、お祭りとは関係ありませんが、プールの時間も楽しみました。全生徒が水泳のレベルに合わせて指導を受けました。また明日、楽しいアクティビティでみんなに会えるのが待ち遠しいです。

It was another great day at OYIS Saturday school. We had our first observation day at our Nakatsu and Tosabori campuses. Parents were able to see their children having fun in class and also get involved in some classes. It was wonderful to see students and family members working together. We are all looking forward to the second observation next week.

It was another great Saturday at OYIS. Many classes worked hard putting together the final touches to projects they will use for their booth at the OYIS International Festival which will be taking place this Saturday (May 25th). Although these preparation were a big part of the day, the classes still found the time to study hard and enjoy some outside time in the beautiful spring weather. The variety of activities the students get to do every week makes every Saturday fun and challenging. We can't wait to see everyone again next week.
今日もOYISは素晴らしい土曜日でした。多くのクラスが今週土曜日（5月25日）に行われるOYISインターナショナルフェスティバルのブースで使用するプロジェクトの最終仕上げに励みました。このような準備は一日の大きな部分を占めていましたが、それでも一生懸命勉強する時間も見つけ、美しい春の天気の中、屋外での時間も楽しみました。毎週さまざまなアクティビティがあるため、毎週土曜日は楽しく、やりがいのあるものとなっています。来週またみんなに会えるのが待ち遠しいです。

**OYIS Saturday School**
It was another fun filled day at the OYIS Saturday school. The younger students enjoyed singing, dancing and painting cans. Our older students did a variety of activities including paper mache, sports, National Geographic learning and so much more. Many classes made some lovely mother's day cards for that special person who does so much. We hope all of our student's mothers had a special Sunday and we can't wait to see everyone again next week. OYIS is the only place to be for children who enjoy an exciting international environment.

OYIS Saturday School
It was a fantastic second week for the students at OYIS Saturday school. Once the students had settled into their classes, they were treated to a variety of activities. All students were introduced to the National Geographic book they will be using this year, plus they continued with their I.T. lessons, had fun in P.E. and got to do some wonderful crafts. We now have a couple of weeks off, but can’t wait to welcome everyone back after Golden Week.
OYISサタデースクール
新年度が始まり素晴らしい2週目のレッスンとなりました。生徒たちがクラスに慣れた後、さまざまな活動を楽しむことができました。今年度に使うナショナルジオグラフィックの本を紹介しました。さらに、ITの授業や体育の時間を楽しみ、素晴らしい工作もしました。これから数週間レッスンはお休みですが、ゴールデンウィーク後に皆さんにお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。

OYIS Saturday School First Day
The sun was shining for our first day of Saturday school and it was great to see the students' smiling faces. We started the day with the students getting to know their teachers and the teachers getting to know their students. It was a fun-filled day of immersion English which included arts and crafts, sports and IT. The OYIS Saturday school is definitely a fun place to be!

Day 4 of the Spring Intensives focused on the sub topic of Skin and Bones. Our younger students did an experiment with their skin and the differences between when we have kept our feet (or hands) in the water too long and when our skin gets wrinkly and what our skin usually looks like. They also worked on understanding how broken bones work and what is required to fix them through working with sticks and understanding how hard they are to snap. Our Elementary students learned about how amazing out fingerprints are and how they can be used to identify us due to the unique loops, swirls and arches that we have and looking at them with a magnifying glass. They also looked at all the different types of joints we have in our bodies and made examples of them using dowels and clay. It was an engaging day and we all enjoyed learning about some really interesting parts of our body.
スプリングインテンシブの4日目は、「皮膚と骨」がテーマでした。低学年の生徒たちは、足（または手）を水に長くつけておくと、皮膚がしわしわになることと、普段の皮膚がどのような状態であるかの違いについて、皮膚の実験をしました。また、骨折とはどのようなことか、骨折を治すために必要なことを、棒を使った作業を通して理解し、骨折はなかなかしないということを学びました。小学生たちは、指紋がいかに素晴らしいものであるかを学び、私たちが持つユニークなループ、渦巻き、アーチによって、指紋がどのように私たちを識別するのに使われるかを学び、拡大鏡で指紋を観察しました。また、私たちの体にあるさまざまな種類の関節を調べ、合わせ釘や粘土を使ってその例を作りました。とても魅力的な一日で、私たちは皆、身体の本当に興味深い部分について学ぶことを楽しみました。

Day 3 was Excursion Day and what a day it was! All 135 students went to the Osaka Museum of Natural History where we saw dinosaur bones, animals and learned about all sorts of interesting new things. While our younger students took the bus, our approximately 100 Elementary students (a number of whom have just entered Grade 1 so are new to Elementary) walked to Midosuji Nakatsu station, caught the train to Nagai, walked to the Museum, had lunch, walked back, caught the train back and then walked back to school!! It was an amazing effort and we know that although they are all tired they had a great time! Well done to all the teachers who supported them too. We are so happy. it was a wonderful day in terms of the weather too. Enjoy our photos!! Only 2 days of Spring Intensive to go!!
OYISスプリングインテンシブ３日目は遠足です！135名で大阪自然史博物館に行き、恐竜の骨や動物を見たり、様々な興味深い新しいことを学んだりしました。幼稚園クラスがバスで移動している間、約100名の小学生（新１年生もたくさんいました！）は御堂筋中津駅まで歩き、長居行きの電車に乗り、博物館まで歩き、昼食をとり、歩いて戻り、電車に乗り、さらに学校まで歩いて戻りました！素晴らしい努力で、みんな疲れてはいますが、素晴らしい時間を過ごしたと思います！彼らをサポートした先生方もお疲れ様でした。天候にも恵まれた素晴らしい一日でした。写真をお楽しみください。 スプリングインテンシブも残すところあと2日となりました！
