泷川幼儿园交流访问（三年级4班）

今天第2、3节课，三年级4班的学生前往泷川幼儿园进行了交流访问。大家带去的，是在家政课作业中每人亲手制作的「让孩子开心的玩具」。

在幼儿园里，学生们分别来到4岁至6岁各年龄段的教室，与小朋友们共度时光。风车、用纸杯做的玩具、可以滚来滚去的手工作品……学生们席地而坐，与小朋友们保持同样的视线高度，一边示范玩法，一边陪着他们一起尝试。

看到小朋友们玩得入迷，学生们的脸上也自然地露出了笑容。有的配合小手调整拿玩具的方式，有的主动招呼正在排队等候的孩子，处处可见体贴他人的身影。制作时反复思考的「怎样才能让他们开心呢」，在真实的互动中得到了检验。

回到学校后问起感想，学生们纷纷说「真的很开心」「小朋友们太可爱了！」。课本上的学习，通过与人的交流变成了真切的体会——这一定是难忘的一天吧。

衷心感谢在百忙之中热情接待我们的泷川幼儿园园长及各位老师，也感谢前来协助的「元气UP」志愿者们。接下来，其他3个班级也将陆续前往访问，今后也请多多关照。

Visit to Takigawa Kindergarten (Year 9, Class 4)

During the second and third periods today, pupils from Year 9, Class 4 visited Takigawa Kindergarten. They brought with them toys they had each made for a home economics assignment, designed with one goal in mind: to delight young children.

At the kindergarten, the pupils split up across the classrooms for four-, five- and six-year-olds. With pinwheels, cup-based toys and handmade rolling creations in hand, they sat down on the floor at the children's eye level, showing them how each toy worked and trying it out together.

As the little ones became absorbed in play, smiles spread across our pupils' faces too. Some adjusted how the toys were held to suit small hands; others made a point of chatting with children waiting for their turn. Thoughtfulness was on show all around the room, and the question they had asked themselves while making the toys — "What will make them happy?" — was put to the test in real interactions.

Back at school, when asked how it went, pupils replied, "It was so much fun!" and "The children were adorable!" It felt like a day when classroom learning turned into something genuinely felt through connecting with others.

Our heartfelt thanks go to the head teacher and staff of Takigawa Kindergarten for their warm welcome despite their busy schedule, and to the "Genki Up" volunteers who came along to help. The remaining three Year 9 classes will be visiting over the coming days, and we look forward to working with you again.
