今日は空に雲が広がり、風もふいていて、ここ数日の暑さに比べると涼しい1日でした。
6年生は日曜日から宿泊行事が始まったため、今日はその代休日。5年生は明日から始まる林間学校に備えて、わくわく・そわそわの1日となりました。
今日は授業の話です。
2年の算数では、「水のかさ」の学習をしています。大きさの違う2つの水筒のかさを比べるには、様々な大きさ・形のコップを使っていてはうまく比べられないことに気付いた子どもたち。学級で「この大きさにしよう」とコップの大きさを決めても、それは学級の中だけにしか通用しないこと。「はばも長さも〝みんな一緒(世界共通)〟のコップが必要!」と騒ぎ始めたところで、1dLのコップを提示しました。
「1dLって、どのくらいのかさなのだろう」
実際に観察し触ってみたくなった子どもたち。
1dLのコップを使って、普段よく見る様々なペットボトルのかさを調べました。
「ここまでで18杯入ったから、18dLだ」
「先生、ペットボトルに『2L』って書いてあるけれど、これは何だろう?」
 
次回は鍋やバケツのかさを、1dLのコップで調べてみようと思います。
「先生、1dLで1杯、2杯、……って数えるのは大変!」の声が出てきたところで、1dLをいくつか集めた大きなコップを、子どもたちと作ってみたいと思っています。

It was a beautiful sunny morning, so we did morning stretches outside in nature. After morning exercises, we enjoyed eating our last breakfast together with the teachers. Then the students did their final skit presentation in front of all the native teachers and their classmates. Finally, the photo contest and skit results were announced. All the skits were amazing and showcased their original ideas. English Camp came to an end with the closing ceremony and farewell speeches from both the students and teachers. We all had wonderful experiences for the past three days and created memories that will last for a long time.

It stopped raining, so we were able to do recreation activities such as soccer, frisbee, and dodgeball. We had so much fun playing outside in nature. After lunch, we went on a walk to a nearby shrine. It was a very old and beautiful place. The students explained about the culture of Japanese shrines to their English teachers. When we returned to the hotel, students split into their English group and continued working on writing the script and acting for their skit. After that, the students took part in indoor recreation activities such as card games, and dance with other English groups.

Students then participated in a photo contest with their English group. They really enjoyed coming up with original photo ideas.

We started the day with morning exercises in English with the camp leader. After that, we enjoyed a delicious and healthy breakfast. Then we split into our groups and practiced different situational conversations in English. They changed classrooms and were able to experience new conversation topics with different teachers. It was fun practicing English with all the other teachers. 

After a fun-filled morning of activities, we had lunch with our friends and teachers!

English Camp Day

 

Our first day at English Camp2022 has just started. During the opening ceremony, we met the new English teachers and they introduced themselves. Two students gave welcome speech to the new teachers.  After the welcome speech, our students gave a speech about Showa Gakuin Elementary School.

Then the students split into their English groups and enjoyed activities such as gesture games, teacher quiz, and vocabulary games. For self-introduction, students practiced pronunciation, eye contact, and using a loud voice. 

Teachers changed classrooms so students could get to know all the teachers.
