Hello, everyone!5月に植えたサツマイモが育ち、とうとう収穫の日を迎えました。
いつものようにラジオ体操を終えた子ども達は芝の上に座るよう言われました。園長先生がサツマイモのプランターをいくつも見せてくれ、お芋がどこにできているか尋ねると、ちゃんと土の中だと答えることができました。
クラス別にグループに分けられた子ども達が順番にツルを持って引っこ抜きます。急いで引っ張りすぎて、お芋が土の中から顔を出す前にツルが切れてしまったグループもありましたがみんなで応援しあいながら収穫を楽しみました。小ぶりながらおいしそうなおイモはしばらく寝かせた後に給食で提供する予定です。
The sweet potatoes planted in May grew well, and the day of the big harvest finally arrived! After finishing their usual radio exercise, the children were told to sit on the grass. Ms. Emi showed them several planters and asked where the potatoes were growing. The children could answer correctly that they were underground.The children, divided into groups by class, took turns pulling the vines. Some groups pulled too quickly, snapping the vines before the potatoes could peek out of the soil, but everyone cheered each other on and enjoyed the harvest. The small but delicious-looking potatoes will be stored for a while before being served at lunch.
