It was another Funglish October! At Yoshida Elementary School, students had a fantastic time with special Halloween lessons and fun Funglish Time activities!

今月もFun Englishな10月でした！吉田小学校では、ハロウィーンの特別授業やファングリッシュタイムの活動で、子供たちは素晴らしい時間を過ごしました！た！

Everyone learned about different Halloween characters and joined the energetic Halloween Freeze Dance.

ハロウィーンのキャラクターについて学んだり、元気いっぱいのハロウィーン・フリーズ・ダンスに参加したりしました。

 If teachers had to pick the best dancers, it would be impossible because everyone danced so well.

子供たちの中からベストダンサーを選ぶのがむずかしいくらい、みんな、ダンスがとても上手でした。

We also played “Witches Went to Town,” where students dressed up as witches, raced on their broomsticks and answered fun English challenges. It was amazing to hear everyone cheering, “You can do it!” This encouragement helped everyone reach their goals!

私たちは、子供たちが魔女に扮し、ほうきにのって競争し、楽しい英語の課題に答える「魔女が町にやってきた」をプレイしました。みんなの 「You can do it!」という声援は素晴らしかったです。この励ましが、みんなの目標達成を後押ししました！

During Funglish Time, students worked in teams to find Halloween-themed puzzle pieces and assemble their favorite characters. It was amazing to hear students confidently asking, “How do you say がいこつ, 魔女, and other characters in English?”

ファングリッシュタイムでは、子供たちはチームに分かれてハロウィーンをテーマにしたパズルのピースを探し、好きなキャラクターのパズルを組み立てました。その時に子供たちが自信をもって、「がいこつ、魔女、その他のキャラクターは英語で何と言うのですか？」と英語で質問しているのを聞いて、驚きました。

It was another wonderful Funglish month at Yoshida Elementary School! Great job, everyone!

今月も吉田小学校でのファンイングリッシュは素晴らしかったです！皆さん、お疲れ様でした！

Yoshida Elementary School welcomed the new ALT, Sami Sensei. This month was busy as we wrapped up lessons across all grade levels, and Sami Sensei did her self-introduction lessons. Everyone was thrilled to guess Sami Sensei's favorites, and Sami Sensei felt equally delighted listening to students' self-introductions. Some students even prepared questions in English to ask Sami Sensei.

吉田小学校に新しいALT、サミー先生がやってきました。今月は１学期の授業が終了し、サミー先生の自己紹介の授業もあり、盛りだくさんでした。みんなはサミー先生のお気に入りのものを当てるのに大喜びで、サミー先生もこどもたちの自己紹介を聞いて同じように喜んでいました。中には、先生への質問を英語でする児童もいました。

今月も充実したFunglish活動がありました。Funglish Timeでは、生徒たちはサミー先生と会話を楽しみ、様々な質問をしました。図工クラブではALTも一緒にスライムを作りました。

Members of the broadcasting team also fluently announced information about the school lunch. We had Filipino food “pansit and sopas.” Did you like it? In the Philippines, we eat “pansit” during birthdays to wish for a long life.

放送チームのメンバーも英語を使って、上手に給食のメニューをアナウンスしました。フィリピン料理の 「パンシットとソパ 」を食べました。いかがでしたか？フィリピンでは、誕生日に長寿を願って「パンシット」を食べます。

Enjoy your summer vacation! See you next term!

それでは夏休みを楽しんでください！２学期に会いましょう！
