Tomilish Time : Let's enjoy Tomilish Time!

On Wednesday we had our first Tomilish Time this year with the whole school. It has been a while since our last English activities so we used the time to refresh our memories about greetings and to learn more about the new teachers who have come to Tomizawa Elementary School.

This was the first time for the 1st grade students to watch the English TV broadcast.

"Let's enjoy...

Some of the 6th grade students took part in the broadcast and were great examples of how to speak English while smiling, making eye contact and using clear voices.
First, we talked about the different greetings.

"Did you know that Hello is a magic word? You can use it in the morning, afternoon and at night!"

"Good morning!"
IMG_1808.jpg "We use this greeting in the mornings."

"Good afternoon!"
IMG_1813.jpg "We use this greeting in the afternoon. Let's practice saying the greetings together!"

The students in their classrooms tried their best to repeat the greetings.

The 6th grade students gave a demonstration of using the greetings.
IMG_1816.jpg It was morning so they used "Hello!" and "Good morning!".

Next, they showed a demonstration of the greeting game. We always do the greeting game in class and during Tomilish time so it was an important thing to watch!

After that we all sang the `Hello Song` together.

Lastly, the 6th grade students interviewed two of the new teachers.
"What's your favorite color?"

"Me, too!"
"You, too?! Nice!!"

"What's your favorite book?"
IMG_1845.jpg "I like comic books."
"Oh! Great!"

It was very interesting to learn about the new teachers.
IMG_0607.jpg They gave great reactions in English, too! Everyone laughed!

Even though we used a TV broadcast the teachers in the classrooms try hard to involve the students and ask questions.

We had a great first Tomilish Time of the school year. It was a success thanks to the 6th grade students who were great role models to the other students in speaking English.
