生活環境学科の授業で学生が手がけ、芦屋市に寄贈した絵本「さくらまちとミライ」を使った読み聞かせ会が1月30日、芦屋市立精道こども園で開かれました。
「さくらまちとミライ」は生活環境学科3年の笹井愛未さんと大道柚香さんが原画からストーリーまで手作りしたオリジナル絵本。芦屋市に住む「ミライ君」が5人の桜の妖精と出会い、芦屋市の魅力を発見する物語です。
昨年7月にワークショップで披露し、資金を集めてハードカバーに製本した50冊のうち14冊を11月、芦屋市に寄贈しました。精道こども園にも配架され、今回の読み聞かせが実現しました。
読み聞かせは、同園の５歳児49人を対象に笹井さんと大道さんが行い、子どもたちは集中して聞き入りました。
「大人になった時、どんなみらいのまちに住みたい？」と尋ねるシーンでは多くの園児が手を挙げ、「みんなが笑顔のまち」や「桜が咲く平和なまち」などと答えました。
読み聞かせに続き、絵本のキャラクターをモチーフに、「自分だけの妖精メダルを作ろう」、「楽しくお絵かきをしよう～大人になった時どんなまちに住みたい？～」と題し、ワークショップを行いました。
園児たちは楽しく過ごしたお礼に学生たちに感謝状と歌をプレゼントし、「またきてね」「絵本もっと好きになったよ」などと呼びかけました。
A story-telling session was held using original picture books donated to Ashiya City by students from the Department of Human Environmental Sciences.
On 30th of January, a story-telling session using the picture book 'Sakura Machi to Mirai', which was created by students in a class at the Department of Human Environmental Sciences and donated to Ashiya City, was held at Ashiya Seido Kindergarten.
The book is an original picture book handmade by Aimi Sasai and Yuuka Omichi, third-year students at the Department of Human Environmental Sciences, from the original illustrations to the story. The story is about 'Mirai-kun', a resident of Ashiya City, who meets five cherry blossom fairies and discovers the charms of Ashiya City.
The book was presented at a workshop in July last year, and 14 of the 50 copies, which were bound into hard covers with funds raised, were donated to Ashiya City in November. The books were also distributed to Seido Kindergarten, which made this reading session possible.
The reading was performed by Ms. Sasai and Mr. Omichi for 49 five-year-old children at the school, who listened attentively to the storytelling.
Many of the children listened attentively to a scene in which they were asked, "What kind of city do you want to live in when you grow up?" Many of the kindergartners raised their hands and answered, "A town where everyone is smiling" or "A peaceful town with blossoming cherry trees".
The children presented the students with a certificate of gratitude and a song as a thank-you for a fun-filled day, and asked them to come back again and that they grew to like the picture books even more.
