富沢小学校 Tomilishブログ

5th grade students just finished their last English class for the year.
We did a review class so students could finish the year with confidence in their English abilities.
First, Ms.Emily had a long English conversation with each homeroom teacher.

What's this?

What color do you like?

I like black!

The students listening were very surprised that they understood the whole conversation. This is because the teachers only used English that the students learnt this year.

Next, we reviewed all the chants and songs in Hi,friends!1. Everyone felt very nostalgic! The teachers were so impressed that the students rememembered everything.

Everyone remembered all the actions and dances we created together, too!
Well done!

After refreshing our memories we practiced the phrases and questions from Hi,friends!1 more with Ms.Emily.

It's your birthday! What do you want?
I want money!
Me, too.

The main activity was a boardgame.

It was adapted from a game created by one of the ALTs at Kamisugiyama-dori Elementary School, Ms. Ana. She made it using an activity from the old Eigo Noto Textbook. Thank you Ms. Ana!

First, the teachers and some students demonstrated the game.

Let's count together! 1, 2, 3, 4!

The students had a great time playing the game.


They could practice English in a fun way.

Everyone laughed and smiled a lot!

Some questions had to be asked to the homeroom teacher.

Mr. Kimura, do you like soccer?
Yes, I do!

After finishing the game we did a quick conversation activity. The students moved around the classroom and used the English they had reviewed to make conversations.

Everyone tried to make as long a conversation as possible.

What do you study on Monday, 1st period?

We had a menu on the blackboard so students could ask "What would you like?".



Do you like natto?


Have a nice day!

It was a great way to end the year. Well done everyone!

Hello everyone!
This week we did Tomilish Time in the gym with all students. It was the first time for everyone to speak English together.
First everyone said "Good Morning!" and "How are you?" to Ms. Keiko and Ms.Emily.

Let's enjoy `Special Tomilish Time`!

Everyone got into groups which included students of all grades.

Everyone was a little nervous! You can do it!

Group 1 came to the front of the gym to demonstrate.

They made a circle and made sure they were sitting next to someone from a different grade.

Then they demonstrated singing the Hello Song in pairs.

Let's watch!

Next everyone got into pairs in their groups and sang, too.

Nice gestures!

Next, Ms. Emily and Ms. Keiko demonstrated a simple conversation.
What's your name?
How are you?
Nice to meet you!
Group 1 demonstrated this conversation in a group.

Grades 4, 5 and 6 students are leading the younger students very well!
If you wave your hand, everyone knows you are searching for a partner.

Then, it was time for everyone to talk.

Clear voice!


Nice eye contact!


Good gestures!

Ms. Keiko picked one pair of students who did very well. They demonstrated their conversation to the whole school.

Great job!!

After that, it was time to say goodbye.

See you! Have a nice day!

Everyone did a great job! Especially the students from the upper grades were excellent leaders. Thank you so much!
