42日間の夏休みも今日が最終日……。

皆さん、元気に過ごしていますでしょうか？

小学校では昨日と今日の時間を使って、全職員で子どもたちを迎える準備に取り組みました。

職員室前の畑は草がぐんぐん伸び、この夏休み期間の長さを感じる〝景色〟になってしまいました……。早速、職員で力を合わせて草を取り、子どもたちが虫取りをしたり観察したりできるようにしました。

午後には各教室の整頓も行い、子どもたちを迎える準備は〝万端〟となりました。

明日は夏休みの宿題と2学期の希望･期待の気持ちを持って、元気いっぱい登校してください。久しぶりに見る皆さんの笑顔を楽しみにしています。

 

 

Today was our final day of English Camp. We were excited and a little sad at the same time. First, we had a fun activity time with all the groups together playing some English games like “Duck, Duck, Goose” and “Fruit Basket.” Some games we had played before, but some were brand new! Next we continued working on our presentations for the photo scavenger hunt. Each person in each group tried to think of something great to say about our favorite spots in school. Then all the groups went to Friendly Hall to present their pictures to the other groups. We were a little nervous about presenting, but each group did an amazing job. Next was lunchtime. After lunch, we participated in a Treasure Hunt activity where we had to find different shapes around the school. Following that was another recreation game time where we played games for the last time with our English teachers. Last, we had our closing ceremony. The winners of photo contest presentations were announced, and each English teacher gave a comment about their group and how much fun it was these last three days. We each got a certificate showing that we finished three days together, and then we had to say goodbye to our teachers. It was a super three days of using English! We had so much fun!

We have finished our second day at In-School English camp. First, since we have already gotten to know our English teachers, we took them on a tour of our school. We showed them many classrooms and areas we use every day. It was challenging and fun to use only English to explain different things about our school. Next, we started practicing phrases and making preparations for our role playing activity scheduled in the afternoon. Our teachers taught us many ways to carry and conversation in places like a restaurant, a doctor’s office, and more. Then it was time for lunch. After lunch, we jumped into the role playing activity we had been preparing for. We had fun going to the different classrooms and pretending to be sick at the doctor’s office, ordering food at a restaurant, buying things at a store, and much more. After that, we started making preparations for the next day’s photo contest presentation. We went around the school finding our favorite locations and taking a picture with our teacher there. Then we practiced what we will say during the next day’s presentation. That marks the end of day two at In-School English camp. We had fun today, and we hope to continue having fun on our last day tomorrow!

今年度も習字クラブ16名が、「第71回全日本学生書道展」に出品しました。
（出品した作品は、7月27日～8月3日に東京都美術館にて展示）
どの児童も自分の書きたい文字を大きな筆を使って、大きな紙にのびのびと書き表すことができました。最近のコロナ感染者増加を受けて、残念ながら授賞式は中止になりましたが、7月31日に都合がつく児童が集まり、みんなで写真を撮りました。
なお、２学期の始業式で表彰を行う予定です。
