1st Grade : Our Original Tomizawa Zoo!

Recently 1st grade students had their last English class for this year. We have been studying animals and numbers. We also visited Yagiyama Zoo and practiced animal names and counting in English there. Our final project was making our own original zoo.

Our class started with greetings and singing.

We took turns singing the Hello Song.

The students had great eye contact and smiled when they were singing!

We also did the chant 'How many balls?' from the Hi, friends!1 textbook.

The students enjoy making gestures for the different animals in the chant. This is the dog gesture that they created.

Next, each student took out a picture they had drawn of their favorite animal.
