At AMICUS, surrounded by nature, children can often be seen searching for little creatures around campus during morning or lunch breaks!

Recently, our Grade 1 students, who absolutely love discovering little creatures, headed out for a nature walk, right on the campus, in the forest near the Tengan River. They were joined by special guest teacher Takeru Naka, an insect researcher, and supported by our wonderful parent volunteers!

As they explored the lush green forest, the children carefully looked around, eager to discover all kinds of creatures and plants. Dragonflies, butterflies, lizards, and even a giant spider! The children were thrilled with each new discovery, and excited voices could be heard throughout the forest!

It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to explore nature using all five senses and encounter a variety of living things firsthand. Mr. Naka also shared an important message about protecting forest creatures and preserving their natural environment. The children listened closely, showing great interest in what he had to say.

After their adventure, the children were all smiles, with many saying, “I want to go again!” It was truly a day filled with new discoveries and learning!

At AMICUS, we will continue to nurture children’s natural curiosity and provide opportunities for hands-on learning through real-life experiences.

A big thank-you to Mr. Naka and all the parent volunteers who made this special day possible!
