A Spooky Spider

With Halloween only a few weeks away, things have gotten spooky at TREE lately. We added a few new decorations around the school for the kids to enjoy, including a giant man-eating spider. We were also able to get several pumpkins to make jack-o-lanterns this year!

This is a chance for kids to enjoy an American style Halloween complete with trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving, so don`t miss it!

3D Shapes and Big Bubbles

                                                                       

 On this day we learned the English words for different 3D shapes. We also learned about surface tension and how to make cubical bubbles.









Then we all practiced how to make big bubbles. Each child got to take home their own big bubble wand to play with at home.

Everyone learned a lot and had a great day!

We went to Ueno Natural Science Museum

 In summer school, we learned about the different names of bones in the human body. Then, we learned about the names of dinosaurs and learned about their bones! At the end of the week, we went to Ueno Natural Science Museum and went to see real dinosaurs.

Most of the kids had not been to this museum before. They enjoyed the experience and learned a lot of new English words.

Ice Cream Parties

Our elementary school age students have been working hard for more than half a year collecting stickers to earn this ice cream reward. Stickers were given to students with good attitude during class time. Once all members of a class collected 25 stickers, we had an ice cream sundae party during class.

The kids had a lot of fun and enjoyed having a break from normal classes. Everyone is refreshed and motivated again!

Keep up the good work, kids!

  

pH and carbonation

Today we learned about pH with acids and bases.  Then we made lemonade.  After we made the lemonade we carbonated it.  It was cold and refreshing on this hot hot day!

Chalk Making

Today in Summer School we made chalk.  It was great fun.  First the students learned how to mix and blend colors.  Then, we did some chalk art.  Lastly, we made our own multi colored chalk to take home.  Everyone had a great time and learned a lot.

Are you ready for summer?

There are only a few weeks left before summer vacation! I know all our students are very excited to finish school. Summer vacation means summer homework (boo). No one likes homework so let us help you finish it!

At TREE, we offer 1 day or 3 day long courses that can be used for 自由研究 homework. This year we have chalk making, painting and popsicle stick bridge building courses along with many others. How strong is our popsicle stick bridge? Come and find out!
