富沢小学校 Tomilishブログ

5th grade students had their second class on the topic `He can run. She can sing.` . In the previous class they had pretended to be animals and answered questions about what they could do. In this class they answered questions about themselves.

After the chant, we played the `Animal Card Game`. This time, if their answer was negative, instead of just answering "No, I can't." the students had to add another sentence "But, I can swim.".
We used the game to make groups of students. "All cats come here. Make a circle."

Next, we checked how to say the new phrases.
"Can you play the recorder?"

Ms. Keiko asked the students many questions and they answered using gestures.
"Yes, I can!"

After the teachers demonstration, the students asked each other questions in their groups about what they can do.
"Can you play the piano?"

After talking in groups the teachers asked the students to nominate some other students to give a good demonstration.
"Can you jump?"
"Yes, I can!"
"Nice gestures!!"

After speaking in groups the students were free to walk around and ask anyone questions.


They even asked some teachers who came to watch the class.
"Can you play baseball?"

Mr. Ushiro from Tsukuba University also came to watch our classes. The students enjoyed talking to him, too.
"Can you swim?"
"Yes, I can!"

Lastly, the students gave their feedback on the class.
Good job everyone!
