This year 6th grade students have been studying some topics that are not in the current Hi,friends! textbook. They had their first class on the topic `Junior High School Life`. In this topic they will study about the different clubs in junior high school and they will talk about which club they would like to join next year.

First, we did Teacher Talk.
The teachers talked about the clubs in their junior high school when they were young. They used this to introduce the names of the different clubs to the students.

Next, we asked the students what clubs they knew were in Tomizawa Junior High School.
We practiced the names of each club.

There are many many clubs in Tomizawa Junior High School!
We asked the students if they noticed anything about the clubs. They realised that some are called `club` and others are called `team`: Art Club, Soccer Team. It was interesting!

Next, there was a special surprise. The students at Tomizawa Junior High School had prepared a video letter for us. They introduced the clubs in English!
We used the video to check if our guesses, about the clubs in Tomizawa Junior High School, were right. We also checked what the students had said. "What else did they say about the soccer team?"
"It's difficult but fun!"
"That's right!"

Lastly, the students wrote what they had realised during that class.
Many students wrote about the difference between `club` and `team`.

It was a very interesting class! Thank you to Tomizawa Junior High School students and teachers for preparing the video letter! We really enjoyed it!
