It's a SPOOKY October!

　　The time to scare kids has come again! Each grade level had a spooky and fun experience during the Halloween FUNglish lesson. Aside from learning Halloween-related vocabulary, they enjoyed running from the witch, grouping themselves according to how many ghosts they saw, and winning stickers through Halloween Bingo. The "Awoooo" good job clap was a hit too! How about you? Did you have a spooky, fun Halloween party?

　　トリック・オア・トリート！今年も、黒岩小ファングリッシュのハロウィンは、大盛り上がりでした！　

Learning with Kocho-sensei

　Fifth graders enthusiastically shared with our principal what they were learning in their English lesson. The activities ranged from giving directions while navigating the FUNglish mock-up town to guessing prices of products that can be bought on Amazon, all while practicing their learned English vocabulary for each unit. The students enjoyed it and were thrilled to see that our principal was leading by example through learning English with them.

　５年生が英語で道案内に挑戦！校長先生を見事に英語で案内することができました！

Kuroiwa sho Expo

    The sixth graders just had a presentation for unit 6. In this unit, they learned about where things are from. They studied about continents, countries, ingredients of a sandwich, and daily things, too. The three-person presentation proudly showcased their items and talked about them, where they are from, what the country is popular for, and how they would describe the country. So, where is your shirt from?

    ６年生は英語の授業で「黒岩小万博」を開催しました！グループごとにパビリオンを作り、身近なものの生産国を調べました。また、その国の特色や、その国で体験できることなどを、英語で楽しく発表しました！ 

Hospital

    This month's Kzania event took a creative turn as kids learned about what's inside their stomach. After pretending to have tummy aches, they got a check-up at a mock hospital. A pretend MRI scan revealed the contents of their stomachs, which to their surprise were fruits and vegetables.

    今月の休み時間の英語活動、Kザニアのテーマは、「病院」です！おもしろいMRI検査をして、病院で使う英語表現を学びました！

My Pencil case 

     Teachers from elementary and junior high schools in the city visited to observe a fourth-grade class. The children energetically showed off their original pencil cases they had made themselves.

   富中校区の小中合同研修会が行われました。黒岩小の楽しいFunglishを多くの先生が参観！４年生はタブレットでオリジナルのふでばこを作り、英語で堂々と発表できました！

2nd Semester

    Welcome back, everyone! How was your summer vacation? We are very happy to see you again. Let's have a great time this second semester, too! Fun, fun, funglish!

　黒岩小のファングリッシュがスタートしました！２学期も、一緒に楽しみながら、英語を学んでいきましょう！

Thank you! 1st semester!

     Hello, everyone. The first semester has finished. Well done! We learned so many new words and had so many wonderful memories in the class. Have a good summer vacation. See you!

     １学期のファングリッシュが終了しました！ゲームやアクティビティーを通して、たくさんの新しい単語を覚えたり、楽しい思い出がいっぱいできましたね！夏休み後、また元気なみなさんに会えるのを楽しみにしています！

　Connecting Classrooms 

　The fifth graders were excited to connect with their peers from Nishi. They watched self-introduction videos where the Nishi students shared their names, their school, and some of their abilities (can do) and limitations (can't do). This unique exchange allowed the students to get to know each other better.

   ５年生は英語で「can / can't」を使った自己紹介ビデオレターを作って、西小学校の５年生に送りました！西小からも元気な動画が届いて、統合に向けて、お互いのことを知る楽しい交流ができました！

Restaurant

     Order up! For this month's Kzania, the students transformed into servers running their own bustling restaurant. From greeting customers, taking and serving orders, to handling payments, the students not only practiced their English but also gained practical life skills.

　さあ、英語で注文しよう！６月のお昼休みの英語活動「Kザニア」では、ファングリッシュルームが高級レストランに大変身！店員さんとお客さんになりきって、英語で注文やお会計にチャレンジ！本物のようなレストラン体験に、笑顔がいっぱいの時間になりました！

Feelings 

   Our first graders learned about feelings this month. In the lesson, they had to run away from a hungry tiger as they practiced saying, "I'm happy." They also made creative emotion masks and many students said they were hungry. Oh, no!

   元気いっぱいの１年生は、「自分の気持ちを英語で表現する」ことを学びました！楽しいゲームで単語を覚えたり、気持ちを表すお面を作ったりしてニコニコ笑顔！「I'm happy!」「I'm hungry.」など、元気に声に出して楽しみました！英語って楽しいね！
