Hello, everyone！ 今日は在園児の子ども達と今週末卒園を控えたK3クラスのお友達のお別れ会をしました。Elephant classのみんなが卒園式の練習をしている様子を小さな子ども達は神妙な面持ちで見学していました。その後、各クラスからすてきなプレゼントを手渡し、最後は一列になってハグをしながらお別れを惜しんでいました。普段は優しく話しかけてくれたり遊んでくれていたK3さん、でもひとたび運動会や発表会では最年長らしい堂々としたパフォーマンスでみんなの憧れの眼差しをうけていた素敵なお兄さんお姉さんでした。これまでほんとうにありがとう。小学校に行っても元気でね。

Today, we held a farewell party for the current students and K3 children, who are set to graduate this weekend. The younger children watched with solemn expressions as the Elephant Class practiced for their graduation ceremony. Afterward, each class presented them with lovely gifts, and finally, everyone lined up to hug them, reluctant to say goodbye. The K3 students were always kind, chatting with　younger children and playing with them, but during events like the Sports Day and School Concert, they were wonderful big boys and girls who commanded everyone’s admiration with their dignified, mature performances. Thank you so much for everything. Good lock at the elementary school!
