6th Grade : How long do you sleep?

On Friday some school principals from Fukushima came to watch English class. After watching the 4th grade class on the topic `This is my day.` they then watched the 6th grade students. Recently, 6th grade students have started studying a new topic. They are studying Hi,friends!2 Lesson 6 `What time do you get up?`. They had their third class on this topic.

First, we had our greeting game. The teachers gave a demonstration first and then the students asked each other. Just as in previous classes we focused again on the question "What did you do on Saturday and Sunday?".

Next, Mr. Takeyuki talked to the students about the goal for the lesson. Recently many students at our school have the flu. He asked the students for ways that they can protect themselves from getting the flu. One of the students suggested going to bed early and getting up early.

After checking the goal we did the chant using gestures.

Next, we practiced asking the questions "What time do you get up?" and "What time do you go to bed?". We practiced by having the whole class ask the question together to individual students.

"I get up at 6.30."

After practicing the students guessed what was the earliest and latest time that their classmates get up and go to bed.

Then, after a demonstration by the teachers, it was time for all the students to ask their friends. We focused on asking the question "What time do you get up?" first.

After asking the question "What time do you get up?" a lot the teachers stopped the class and got some good students to give a demonstration.

"I get up at 6.15."
"6.15?"
"Yes."
Sometimes the times are difficult to hear so it's good to check. Well done!

Next, we focused on asking the question "What time do you go to bed?".

Lastly, we all checked together who gets up and goes to bed the earliest and latest. Let's all ask them together!

"I go to bed at 8.30."
"It's early! Good job!"

Good job 6th grade students!
