For the past several weeks all of the students at Ishida Kindergarten have been creating pieces of art to be showcased at this week’s art exhibition. Many different themes were used for the art. The ideas came from stories read to the students, field trips, the change of season, calligraphy classes and many more.

All of the art work is being exhibited in the school’s hall and displayed on the wall in order of year groups. On the hall’s floor you can also find an installation.

The story of Hansel and Gretel was used for this year’s installation and every student assisted with creating crafts to represent the story’s iconic sweet house and its woodland surrounding. There you can also find many different types of animals and even the wicked old witch alongside Hansel and Gretel. Other smaller crafts the students made can also be found.

On Thursday of this week, the art exhibition began. Each class had the opportunity to go on a personal tour around the exhibition guided by their teacher. The students were very excited to find their own art and to view all of the other students’ art work too.

The art exhibition lasts for a total of three days and tomorrow will be the final day. So to all of the parents that haven’t already come, please enjoy our incredible exhibition tomorrow.

（この数週間石田幼稚園の子ども達は今週の作品展で展示するためにたくさんの作品を作ってきました。

いろいろなテーマの作品，題材があります。絵画の題材は子ども達に読んだ絵本や，遠足，季節の変化，習字教室などからきています。

すべての絵画はお遊戯室の壁に学年ごとに飾られています。そしてお遊戯室の床にも作品を見て頂けます。

ヘンゼルとグレーテルのお話が今年の作品展のテーマに使われ，子ども達が作品作りを通して，絵本の中のお菓子のお家やその周りの森の世界を再現しました。さらにいろいろな動物や魔女，ヘンゼルとグレーテルも見て頂けますよ。子ども達が作った小さな作品もあります。

今週の木曜日，作品展が始まりました。各クラスのお友達は先生に連れられて作品巡りをしました。子ども達は自分の作品を見つけてとても喜んで，さらにほかのお友達の作品を喜んでみていました。

作品展は３日間あり，明日が最終日です。なのでまだ来られていない方はぜひ明日楽しんでください！
