夏休みに入り猛暑続きで水辺で過ごす機会も増えていることと思います。
そんな中、毎日のように水難事故のが各地であり、何か少しでも事故に遭わないための活動ができたらと考え、急遽開催することといたしました。急な準備で数人のボランティア有志で行うため少人数定員となってしまいますが、ご予定が合えばお申し込みください。
参加者氏名・住所・携帯番号・年齢・学校名を入れて上記アドレスへ
＊ご参加の受け入れは先着順になります。
＊少しでも多くのご家族に参加いただきたいので、１家族2名までのお申し込みとさせていただきます。
今年度の冒険活動スタートしました。
初回はチャレンジ登山。山を登ってどんな景色が見えるのかな？
あいにくのお天気のためカッパに着替えで準備万全！
登る山はかつてお城が立っていたところ。昔の人が歩いていたかもしれないルートを通って頂上を目指しましょう！
細い道だからみんなでトレイン
なるべく濡れないように気をつけて森の中を歩いてきたのにキッズ達は濡れた方が楽しいようです。
普段は濡れるから外で遊べないと憂鬱な雨も遊んでしまえばむしろ「楽しい！」
冒険活動次回は「チャリ旅」デコボコ道のグラベルロードにチャレンジです。
まだ今年度の活動は始まったばかり暖かくなったら川遊びの「川ガキ」シリーズも始まります。
冒険に出かけたい少年、少女達お待ちしています。
暖かいポカポカ陽気の中、新年度の森のようちえんがスタートしました。
この前まで来ていた年長さんたちが小学生になるので新しいメンバーを迎えてのスタートです。
１年間たくさんの自然に触れ合って楽しく遊んで行きましょう！
まずは森の探検から広い山を登って景色を眺めたり、この時期新しい竹が生えてきて転ぶと危ないところをみんなでチェックしましょう。楽しく安全に遊ぶためには大人はもちろん子どもたちも何が危ないか考えながら遊ばないといけません。
歩きながらヤギのメイちゃんにあげる美味しそうな葉っぱを探したり。春は緑鮮やかだから喜んで食べてくれるかな？
女の子は髪飾りにチャレンジ！季節に合わせてどんな花が見つかるのかこれからが楽しみだね。
まだまだ怖がりながらの木登り。この１年でどれくらいまでいけるかな？
みんなお気に入りのブランコ
高いところにあるからここから眺める森の景色は最高！
３歳からきているベテランは生き物探し。
長年の遊びの経験でどこに隠れているかわかるからザリガニにドジョウなんでもゲットだぜ！
落ちてもへっちゃらな落ち葉プール。
どんどん飛び込んで行こう！
ヤギのメイちゃんに餌やり
美味しい草とそうでない草の好みが分かれるメイちゃん。気にいってくれたかな？
何をして遊ぶかは子どもたちのアイディア次第の森のようちえんで自然遊びを思いっきり楽しんじゃいましょう！
6月以降の予定も近日公開させていただきます。森のようちえん詳細はこちら
*Satoyama: settlement pattern of living in upland valleys and cultivating slopes
Let’s go beyond the tourist areas of Nikko and experience the real daily life of farming villages, terraced rice fields, and clear streams while feeling the scenery of satoyama blessed with clean water and mountains.
Nikko is famous as a place where rich nature and culture remain, but the background is maintained by the wisdom of the people who live in Nikko, cooperation between them to make a living, love for the community, and coexistence with nature.
The people of Nikko enriched their lives by drawing water from the Daiya River, which flows from the Nikko Mountains, into their paddy fields since ancient times.
The rice in the terraced rice fields of Nikko, served for lunch, is also carefully grown using the clean water from the natural slopes. One of the attractions of this tour is that you can visit a local farmhouse and enjoy talking about rice and the region while having a homemade meal, a unique opportunity to discover Nikko.
The experience includes cycling around the World Heritage area, off-road cycling along the Daiya River, strolling through the satoyama scenery, lunch at an old farmhouse, Guinness Nikko Cedar Path and more!
