きょうから- This means from today. Or possibly starting today.

まちにまった- This means waiting for waited?

なつやすみ- This is summer vacation.

I will look at the kanji part next. Im not exactly sure what this is supposed to mean. Im sure someone else from Japan will be able to help better, this is just a quick translation. sorry.

The first part 三匹 has the kanji for the number three (三、san) and the second kanji is a counter for small animals (ひつ、correct me someone if im wrong.)

then there is a particle no (の) Which usually shows ownership.

I had a tougher time with the second part but i think i got it.

子 is the kanji for kids or young. The ぶた part is where i had trouble. But I think all together says The Three Little Pigs.

This is the best I got so far. Hopefully someone else who is more fluent can help you more. And correct me if Im wrong.

It's ひき not ひつ. And in this case it would be さんびき.
