5th grade students have started a new topic. They will study a mix of Let's Try!1 Unit 4 `I like blue.` and Hi,friends!1 Lesson 4 `I like apples.` They have already studied `Do you like~?` a little as 4th grade students so we will only study it briefly this year. Since this phrase is not new to the students we decided to teach them some new vocabulary as well, the names for seasons.

As always, we started class with a greeting game.
"Do you like blue?"
"Yes, I do!"

After that, we sang the song `Do you like broccoli icecream?` from Super Simple Songs. First, the students just listened to the song. Next, during the second playing, the students tried to sing along and do gestures, too.
"Do you like ice cream?"
"Yes, I do."

"Do you like broccoli?"
"Yes, I do."


"Do you like broccoli icecream?"
"No, I don't. Yucky!"

Next, we had `Teacher Talk`. Ms. Mayumi showed Ms. Emily some pictures.
"Last week 5th grade students boiled vegetables for cooking class."
"Oh, it looks delicious!"

"What vegetables did you eat?"
"Carrots, cabbage and broccoli."
"Do you like carrots?"
"Yes, I do!"
"Do you know 旬? It means the `best season` for vegetables. What is the best season for carrots?"
"Hmm...maybe winter?"
"That's right!"
"Do you like winter?"
"Yes, I do! I like snow!"

The teachers used vegeables to introduce the names of the different seasons.
"Watermelon is best in summer!"

Next, the teachers demonstrated a conversation to the students.
"Do you like autumn?"
"Yes, I do. I llike autumn."
"Why?"
"I like imonikai."

After practicing first with the person sitting next to them, the students stood up and interviewed many different classmates.
"Do you like summer?"
"No, I don't."
"Why?"
"I don't like hot weather."

Half-way through the activity the teachers picked some students to give a good demonstration.
Great reactions and gestures!

Next, everyone tried again keeping the good demonstration in mind.
Great reaction!

Finally we ended with another good demonstration from some students picked by the teachers.
Good gestures!

Everyone enjoyed learning the English for seasons. It was an interesting class!

This week class 5-3 had a demonstration class. Many teachers came to watch their class and give advice to the teachers.

5th grade students have been studying Hi,friends!1 Lesson 4 `I like apples.` This was their last lesson on this topic. The theme of the class was making sandwiches for their outdoor activities trip (野外活動）next week.
The class was also linked with Home Economics (家庭科). The students thought about the different food groups.

First the teachers demonstrated the activity.
Let's make sandwiches for our friends but this time we will gather the ingredients too!

After the teachers demonstration, two students also did a demonstration.
This helps to check that the students understood what to do without the teachers explaining in Japanese.

In pairs, the students asked each other about what they like.
"Do you like lettuce?" "Yes, I do."

Then, they had to go to the `shops` to collect the ingredients.
"Lettuce, please." "Here you are."

Halfway through the activity the teachers picked some good students to give a demonstration. "Let's watch!"
Everyone thought about the good points of the demonstration and then continued the activity.

The shopkeeper and customers conversations were new English for the students.
The shopkeepers tried to call customers to their shops.

"Delicious!"

The students tried very hard during the class. It was a lot of fun for everyone.
Well done everyone!

5th grade students have been studying Hi,friends!1 Lesson 4 `I like apples.` Since they studied the phrase `Do you like~?` as 4th grade students, we are focusing on expanding their vocabulary and reactions. In this week's class the students made each other sandwiches.

First the teachers demonstrated.
"Mr. Suda, how are you?"
"Oh, I'm so hungry!"
"Oh, no! I'll make you a sandwich!"

First you have to check each sandwich ingredient.
"This is tuna. Do you like tuna?"
"Yes, I do!"

Let's look at the final result.
Wow! Tuna and roast beef?! Mr. Suda likes strange sandwiches!

Then it was time for the students to try.
Nice eye contact!

"Do you like cucumber?"
Great smile!

"Do you like onions?"
"No, I don't!!"

Next the teachers had two good students give a demonstration.
"Let's watch!"
"Do you like tomatoes?"
"No, I don't."
"Okay."
The students thought about the demonstration's good points. They had very good reactions! Let's change partners and try again while thinking about our reactions.

"Do you like cheese?"
"Yes, I do."
"Me, too!"

The students tried hard to give reactions.
It made the conversation flow smoothly.

"I don't like lettuce."
"Oh, I see."

"Show me your sandwich, please."
"No vegetables? Oh, no! You don't like vegetables!"

"Look at my sandwich!"
"I added everything! Hehe!"

Lastly the students nominated their friends who had good reactions and everyone watched together.
Great smile!
Well done everyone! It was a very fun class!
