English alphabet is different and new for kids in Japan, so they need some time to learn it. Writing time is very helpful for it.
During these 30 minutes, children open their personal worksheets and do some writing tasks. Tasks are designed for different grades and focus on spelling the letters and words in English. Children practice to write English letters, words, and long sentences.
Teachers help kids during Writing time and give feedback to every student.
During one Writing time, a student usually completes 4 pages and one task of the day. Everyone goes at their own pace.
The task of the day is to find the given words between letters.
In the last 10 minutes of Writing time, the Global Wing teacher explains how to spell the given words and what they mean. Students repeat after the teacher to remember the word better.
Materials for Writing time are created by Global Wing staff.
夏休み最大のイベント「八尾アクトランド」！！
アクトランドに到着後、まずは流しそうめんを食べる用の
お箸と器を自分たちで作りました☆
ノコギリで竹を切る時は、大変な思いをしながらも
みんな先生の力も借りて最後までやり切っていました！！
自分たちで作った器とお箸とともに、
大自然の中で流しそうめんを楽しんだ後はお待ちかねの水遊び！！
水鉄砲だけでなくバケツやホースでも水を掛け合い、
びしゃびしゃになりながらも、とても楽しそうに遊んでいました☆
Besides English lessons with books and writing tasks, there is also “English time” in Global Wing. During this time children could play games, watch videos, and talk with the teacher - and all this is done in English.
The program could be various, the only rule is: that everyone speaks English during English time. So all the instructions are given in English.
This Thursday, we played a game with balls on English time. The rules were simple - to get the ball in the hole by rolling it.
There were 4 rounds:
1st round - two tables on both sides. If you get the ball in the hole - it's 1 point;
2nd round - one table on one side - 3 points;
3rd round - two tables at both sides, but far away - 1 point
4th round - with no tables - 10 points.
Good for the brain
After all rounds, we had two winners - winners are cherished by everyone every time with applause, to keep a good team spirit between kids.
The deck is used to track the points.
About English time
Games in English could be a good break between studies, and they are important for children.
They listen - they understand - they are not afraid of English
みんなが大好きな夏休みイベントのベスト３に入る「久宝寺プール」！！
プールで鬼ごっこをしたり、浮き輪に乗って引っ張ってもらったりと、
存分に水中での遊びを満喫していました☆
今年の夏休みもとても暑かったので、
冷たいプールでみんなリフレッシュできたのではないでしょうか？(^^♪
思いっきりプールを楽しんでGlobal Wingの建物に帰ってきた後は、
みんな疲れてNap time(お昼寝時間)でぐっすり眠っていました。
