みなさんこんにちは！
今日は小学校低学年クラスのお話をいたします。
小学1・3年生の三人組。
いつも仲良く和気あいあいとレッスンをしています。
もっと英語でお話をしてほしいので、みんなには先生役をお願いしています。
一回目は先生のリピート、二回目以降は誰かが前に立って、先生役をしながら絵カードや文字カードの発話をしてもらいます。
また、正しい答えを言えた時、頑張ったとき、何かものを渡すときなどなど、必ずそのシチュエーションにあった言葉を英語でお友達に伝えてもらっています。
みんな自分で覚えた言葉をすごく積極的に使ってくれるので、とても素敵な雰囲気ができています！
一年間通してずっと練習してきたこと、どんどん前に出てきてうれしいです。
これからも一緒に頑張りましょう！

Many ladies are excited about recieving gifts today and I thought in celebration of White Day,
I would share a few fun facts about the day!
- White day started in the 1970s, originating from Ishimura Manseido, a confectionery company based in Fukuoka, Japan.
- The name "White Day" is derived from the idea of giving white-colored gifts, symbolizing purity and sincerity.
- The tradition has spread to other East Asian nations like China, Taiwan, and South Korea.
- White Day originated as a way for men to return the gifts they received from women on Valentine's Day.
- Ishimura Manseido declared the day (March 14) as Marshmallow Day. However, as more treats, like white chocolate, started being gifted, the holiday name shifted to White Day.
I hope everyone enjoys their gifts today!

The world around us is forever changing, I remember around this time last year speaking with students about what an unusually warm winter we`d had, but how it was so long and the cherry blossoms that mark spring would be late.
This year, winter has been long again, but awfully cold with it snowing many times!
In my home country Australia, this time of year instead marks the end of summer, a time of storms and heavy rains. and this year`s unique change is a very scary one, a historically EPIC sized cyclone is rolling its way over our cities.
Seeing such scary news has reminded me once more how important it his we talk about and do something about our Climate Crisis, something many students have shared their thoughts on already.

Every week I encounter students with all levels of skill and confidence.
Some shout their answers out so loud and bold the whole school can hear them.
Others will copy however loud or quiet the teacher or their classmates are and change with the lesson.
Others still are shy or unsure and will whisper their answers so quiet like a mouse in the corner.
Everyone`s voice is unique to them and how they speak.
Earlier this week I lost my voice and could only manage a whisper at best, and the strain of trying to be understood without my best tool made me realise just how important our voices are for us!

みなさんこんにちは！
本日はクラストセミナーのお話をいたします。
小2のHちゃん。
ものを作ることが好きで、普通のレッスン以外にもプライベートセミナーでものづくりをたくさんしています。
バレンタインにちなんでお菓子の袋づくりや、ハートの形をした日記づくりなど、その季節に合わせたものを製作しています。
もちろん、英語のレッスンなので、「はさみを貸してください」「テープを取ってください」「ここを半分に折る」「ここを切る」など、クラフトをしながら英語の発話をしています。
また、英検に向けての練習として日記を書きながら5W1Hの練習もしっかり行っています！
自分の好きなものを英語を使って作る練習、みんなも一緒にしませんか？

After being ill for the last couple of weeks, it has been nice to be back at school teaching! I really missed my students!
This week has been interesting! Both my Baby B students were so loving and full of hugs for the 1st time in our class, I was close to tears!
It was Baby R's Dad's first lesson, and she decided that she wanted to be with teacher instead. It was really funny! It was hugs and slow walks to teacher all lesson.
I was so lucky to have all the support and care from everyone, especially since being ill, kept me out of school for a while.
Thanks once again everyone!

My daughter's first lesson
On Saturday my daughter will begin her Amity lessons.
As she is 3 years old, her first class will be P1 and the target will be shapes and alphabet.
Of course I will not be her teacher because this would be too distracting and, while she is having her class, I will actually be teaching an advanced level discussion lesson.
I have complete confidence in the professionalism and standard of care of her teacher and am very much looking forward to hearing about how it went.
Though, as her favorite word these days is "いやだ" it might be a bit chaotic.
Best wishes,
Michael.
