Halloween Party @ HELLO Village (Part I)Halloween Party was held at HELLO Village after school on October 28th. Students enjoyed wearing their favorite costumes and disguised as someone or something else. At the beginning, our ALT Jordan (whose costume was Ken in a video game ‘Street Fighter’) gave a talk about the beginning and the history of Halloween. The audiences were imaginary entities such as Tinker Bell and famous figures such as a Major Leaguer, Shohei Ootani (or dressed-up students). After the talk, students were asked to become detectives and solve an imaginary murder case at HELLO Village by participating the following five activities: (1) Monster Match (Finding the original countries of various monsters), (2) ‘Word Search’ (finding Halloween-related words from letters arranged in a grid-like way), (3) ‘Story Telling’ (Listening to a mystery and answering the questions of the story), (4) ‘Into the Woods’ (creating monsters that might live in given imaginary pictures), (5) ‘Gesture Game’ (Helping other team members answer questions by gesturing Halloween-related topics). The students talked with ALTs in English and enjoyed each booth very much. Halloween Party @ HELLO Village (Part II)イベントの最後に、新たに加わったオレンジ色の「住人たち」と一緒に記念撮影をして、大盛況のもとに「Happy Halloween」は終了しました。 The main event was, of course, making Jack-o’-Lantern. Facing huge pumpkins that were almost two times as big as their heads, students worked together for carving pumpkins and put their hands in them. As a result of their efforts, we got seven Jack-o’-Lanterns each of which has its own unique face! At the end, we wrapped up ‘Happy Halloween’ Event by taking a group photo with seven new ‘orange’ villagers, as you can see above. Autumn Pub Quiz Challenge @ HELLO Villageこの後も,英語村では10月28日(水)に「Halloween Party」を開催予定です。今年も個性的なジャック・オー・ランタンが英語村に出現するでしょう! On Oct. 21st, we had HELLO Village event ‘Pub Quiz’ after school. 6 student teams faced the following quiz challenges from Kris: ‘Word Search’ (finding meaningful words from letters arranged in a grid-like way), ‘Picture Round’ (putting 10 manga titles in a right order), ‘Common Answers’ (guessing the same answer shared by the other teams), and ‘Music Video’ (Watching a music video and answering the questions concerning the video). Whenever students got a right answer, they raised their arms in triumph! This time, we have the two teams as the winners: Team ‘Koi King’ and Team ‘We Want to Eat Gyudon’. We are also planning Halloween Party next week. Students will wrestle with huge pumpkins and make Jack-o’-Lanterns come into HELLO Village. HELLO Village Week Day 4私たちは言語を通してコミュニケーションを取っているようですが,その他の多くの要素が気持ちを表現していることを改めて認識しました。コロナの影響で様々なことが制限されていますが,その中で思いを伝えるために何をしていけばよいか考えるよいきっかけとなりました。 HELLO Village Week Miniの4日間,多くの生徒が英語村に足を運び,楽しい時間を過ごしてくれたことを心よりうれしく思います。 これからも,全員の安心安全を確保しながら,HELLO Villageを皆で盛り上げて いきましょう。 On the final day of HELLO Village Week, quite a few students carried out the missions on the booklet and got Globy points. As an after-school event, ALTs Nicholl and Daniel gave a talk about non-verbal communication in this era of the coronavirus. Students learned the importance of expressing what they think and making them understood without any spoken languages. They actually used folding fans (Sensu), body languages and gestures, and then discussed the possibilities of non-verbal communication. At the end of the talk, students realized it is true that we communicate our thoughts through spoken languages, but we also express our emotions and feelings non-verbally. It was a good opportunity for students to think of what to do for expressing their thoughts and feelings in this coronavirus era We are really glad so many students visited and enjoyed HELLO Village during this four-day event. Let’s keep HELLO Village lively together! HELLO Village Week Day 3今学期のHELLO Village Weekも残すところ,あと1日となりました。最終日の明日は放課後にALTによるnon-verbal communicationに関するトークが予定されています。 As an event of HELLO Village Week Day3, Scavenger Hunt was held on July 20th. Students made several teams and faced assignments from the Mayor Kris and ALTs. Some of the assignments are such as ‘What is the English message by the 1st grade shoe lockers?’, ‘How many tomato plants at the front of Hiyoshi?’, and ‘Using the maps outside, find the home economics room and office. What room is between them?’. Students competed each other for the fastest time of finishing all the assignments. After Scavenger Hunt, some students played games (such as Jenga and Connect 4) with Kris and ALTs in order to defeat them and get Globy points. Tomorrow will be the 4th and the final day of HELLO Village Week. As an after-school event, ALTs are going to talk about non-verbal communication. HELLO Village Week Day2 Part II今回のサマーキャンプはHELLO Village Weekの一環ということもあり,途中で2年次生以外の生徒もオンラインで参加してくれました。様々なアクティビティを全て英語で行うことにより,英語の力を身につけることはもちろん,創造力やチームワークを発揮する活動も多数あり,皆で協力して何かを成し遂げるよい機会となりました。 何よりも参加者全員が心よりこの一日を楽しんでくれたこと,英語村にまた笑顔が戻ったことを心よりうれしく感じます。今後も気を抜かずにコロナ感染防止に努めながらも,安全に英語村での活動を行っていきたいと思います。 The first activity in the afternoon was making TV commercials on items such as a wooden sword, a remote controller, and national flags. Students unleashed their imaginations for making the items attractive by revealing the hidden aspects of them. After that, as the final activity, we had an extended version of Pub Quiz. Facing and struggling with the quiz challenges such as ‘Word Search’ and ‘Common Answer’, students raised their arms in triumph when they got right answers. Whenever answers were announced, HELLO Village was filled up with gales of laughter and shouts of joy. This time, Summer Day Camp was an event in HELLO Village Week, students from other grades also joined the camp online. For students, this event was a perfect opportunity for not only improving their English, but also achieving a common goal as a team. We are really glad that all the students enjoyed the day camp and the smiles of students finally came back to HELLO Village after the long spring holiday. We will safely run HELLO Village by taking appropriate preventive measures to protect students from infection. HELLO Village Week Day2 Part Iサマーキャンプ午前の部では,まず各チームが自分たちのチーム名とスローガンを決め,それぞれ個性的なオリジナルのチームフラッグを作り,団結力を高めました。その後,紙で作るタワーの高さを競う「Building a Tower」に挑戦し,とってもちいさなタワーから天井に届きそうなタワーまで,いろいろなタワーが英語村に「建設」されました。 その後,チームごとに自分たちのチームフラッグをもって,スカベンジャーハント(宝探し)を行うため,学校を飛び出し,東福寺などに出かけていきました。 Summer Day Camp was held on July 18th as an event in HELLO Village Week. Second-grade students enjoyed this ‘English Only’ environment with the Mayor Kris, ALTs, and university-student volunteers. 5 teams composed of 3-4 students and 1-2 ALTs joined various activities and competed each other for the first place. As the first activity, each team made a team flag having its team-name and slogan. Under the same flag, students got ready to work together for various activities in this event. After that, they joined the activity ‘Building a Tower’ (building a paper-tower as high as possible). While some buildings were super tiny, others almost reached the ceil! As the last activity in the morning, students joined Scavenger Hunt, walking around the vicinity of the school (such as Tofukuji Temple).
