R7 Funglish

 The 4th graders enjoyed a special Christmas lesson where they watched Filipino Christmas carols and learned about Christmas traditions in the Philippines. We challenged them to say Christmas greetings in Tagalog, and they happily kept saying “Maligayang Pasko” even after our Funglish class ended. The students expressed great interest in experiencing Christmas in the Philippines and were especially fascinated by the tradition of receiving money after caroling. They also shared their amazement at how Noche Buena is celebrated as a grand feast.

The 5th graders continued the festive mood with a fun and engaging Christmas lesson. They actively participated in Christmas Ohajiki, which helped reinforce vocabulary in an enjoyable way, and Christmas Get 7, which kept everyone energized and excited. The students were highly enthusiastic, cheering for one another and eagerly joining each activity. The lesson created a joyful classroom atmosphere and left the students with happy and memorable learning experiences.

富岡市内のALTの先生達と一緒に英語を使いながら、ゲームやダンスを楽しんだりフランスの友達へメッセージを送ったりしました。授業で学んだ英語を積極的に話して活動している姿が見られました。

6年生の授業では、行きたい国をたずねたり答えたりする練習をしました。海外旅行に行ってみたいという気持ちがのってすぐにフレーズを覚えて使いこなしていました。カルタゲームでは、ALTの先生達の発音を注意深く聞き取って真剣に取り組む様子が見られました。

TRAVEL KARUTA

Spread across the desks are colorful cards featuring flags and country names. In pairs, 6th-grade students engage in a lively karuta game to practice target phrases. The students ask, “Where do you want to go?” and the ALT responds with, “I want to go to the Philippines,” continuing with destinations like Switzerland, America, India, Australia, Vietnam, Brazil, Italy, France, Malaysia, Peru, Spain, New Zealand, Singapore, China, and Morocco. Each time a country is named, students race to identify and grab the corresponding card. The fastest student keeps the card. This fast-paced, interactive activity not only sharpens listening and pronunciation skills but also builds motivation and geographical knowledge through friendly competition.

４年生では、時刻をたずねたり答えたりする練習をしました。覚えたフレーズを使ってラッキーカードゲームをしました。使うフレーズを忘れてしまったお友達に優しく教えてくれている児童もいました。ありがたいですね！

★Lucky Time Card Game

For the review, the 4th graders play a fun and interactive Lucky Card Game! Each student holds a card with a clock showing a different time. They walk around and ask their classmates, “What time is it?” while also answering the same question using the time on their own card. After one minute, the teacher draws a lucky card. The student with the matching card goes to the front and answers, “What time is it?” correctly. Winners receive a special sticker as a prize!

Daily Routine Dice Game

 In pairs, 4th-grade students play a fun board game to practice telling time and talking about daily activities. The game board shows pictures of clocks and daily routines like waking up, eating breakfast, and studying. Players take turns rolling a dice and moving their eraser to the matching space. When they land on a space, they answer, "What time is it?" by looking at the clock picture. For example, if the clock shows 7:00, they say, "It's seven a.m or if the dice landed on a routine, they answer, "It's (routine) time". This game helps students learn to tell time and talk about their daily schedules in English.
