6th Grade : Open School Event 2
On December 6th, we had our open school event (¸ø³«¸¦µæ²ñ). Close to 500 people from all over Japan came to watch our classes. Thank you for coming! Thank you to everyone who helped with the preparations and smooth running of the event, too.
The 6th grade students from class 6-3 had their third class on the topic "Junior High School Life". You can see the previous classes here:
Hour 1
Hour 2 (Class 6-1 Open School Event)
We had a special guest teacher, Mr. Yosuke, from Tomizawa Junior High School. He is an English teacher. He came to talk to the students about the clubs at Tomizawa J.H.S.
We started class with our usual greetings.
"Hello everyone!"
After the greetings we had `Teacher Talk`. The teachers had a `time slip` to become 6th grade students again. They showed us pictures of themselves when they were in 6th grade. Doing a `time slip` allows the teachers to talk about themselves in elementary school without using the past tense.
"What club do you want to join?"
"I want to join the baseball team."
"Nice. Can you play baseball?"
"Yes, I can. I am the captain of my school team."
One of the students really looks like Mr. Takeyuki's 6th grade picture. He became mini-Mr. Takeyuki.
"What club do you want to join?"
"I want to join the soccer club."
After the demonstration, we double checked all the clubs that are in Tomizawa Junior High School.
There are so many interesting clubs!
Next, it was time for everyone to ask each other.
"What club do you want to join?"
Nice eye contact!
Good gestures!
Half-way through the activity the teachers asked some students to give a demonstration. Everyone watched and thought about the good points.
Great smiles and gestures!
"Let's be careful about these good points while we continue the activity!"
Good eye contact!
Nice smile!
Great gestures!
The teachers picked some more students to give another good demonstration after the activity.
Good job!
Next, Mr. Yosuke talked to the students about life in junior high school. He had many interesting things to say in English.
The students tried hard to listen and ask questions.
Finally, the students reflected on the class in pairs.
They talked about what they had realised about their friends.
Everyone did their best! Well done!
