HELLO Village Week II Day5 Part 2内容は自分の好きなこと、学校活動、幸福,自分の宝物など多岐に渡っています。どれも大変説得力があり、頷いたり、時には涙を誘われたり、ユーモアに笑わされたりと、どのスピーチにもそれぞれの良さがあり、個性が出ていて、心を動かされました。母語ではない英語(留学生は日本語)で文章を考え、練習し、そして人前で披露することは大変難しく,勇気がいることですが,一人一人が英語村の舞台でそれを立派にやり遂げたことを誇りに思います。 今回のHELLO Village Week のテーマは『Identity: What Makes You Unique?』でした。この言葉にはHELLO Village Week中の様々なイベントに参加することで自分について理解を深め、自分をよりよく表現してほしいという思いが込められていました。思っていたよりもうまく表現できなかったなど残念な気持ちもあるかもしれませんが、それも含めて今日はそれぞれが果敢にもスピーチに挑戦してくれたことを嬉しく思います。 コンテスト結果 1年の部 1位 寺田 弥稜「My Treasure」 2位 澤田 祐芽「Welcome to Yume's World」 3位 若井 真青空「Is That True?」 特別賞 森田 琉心「My Experience In Tsunocho」 2年の部 1位 木原 琉翔「Marked For Death」 2位 番留 よしきこうじ「The Mandela Effect」 3位 渡邊 栞「Splendor of World Heritage Sites」 特別賞 野木 隼「The School Rule」 On Nov. 22nd, as the final event of HELLO Village Week II, 8th KRIS CUP English Speech Contest was held at HELLO Village. We had 9 first-graders, 9 second-graders, and 3 exchange students as participants this time. We were amazed by their expressive speeches because we could tell how much efforts they made for their great speeches. The themes of the speeches were from what they like, school activities, happiness, to their treasures. All the speeches effectively expressed their ideas, thoughts, and feelings. The audience laughed by their humor and was moved by their stories. It is quite tough to think in non-native languages and make a speech in public, but we are proud of our students who did it well at the stage of HELLO Village. We have ‘Identity: What Makes You Unique?’ as the theme of HELLO Village Week II. We chose this word because we want students to get a better and deeper understanding about themselves and express what they are by interacting with other students and people with different backgrounds during this week. In their challenge, some students might think ‘I could have expressed myself better’, but that’s okay. We are really glad that they courageously challenged themselves by making a speech in KRIS CUP. Results: The First-Grade Gold Prize: Mikado Terada ‘My Treasure’ Silver Prize: Yume Sawada ‘Welcome To Yume's World’ Bronze Prize: Mark Wakai ‘Is That True?’ Special Prize: Riko Morita ‘My Experience In Tsunocho’ The Second-Grade Gold Prize: Ryuto Kihara ‘Marked For Death’ Silver Prize: Yoshikikoji Bantome ‘The Mandela Effect’ Bronze Prize: Shiori Watanabe ‘Splendor of World Heritage Sites’ Special Prize: Hayato Nogi ‘The School Rule’ HELLO Village Week II Day5 Part 1On Nov. 22nd, Day4 of HELLO Village Week II, we had ‘Globy Point Spree’ during lunchtime. In this event, students can get double Globy points, and so quite a few students actually visited HELLO Village and carried out their missions. These missions are designed for students to improve their English skills. For example, one speaking mission is to talk about their future dreams for one minute, and one writing mission is to write about their biggest strength. Moreover, in order to get Globy points, students enjoyed doing extra missions such as writing massages to their friends, and playing games with ALTs. HELLO Village Week Day4 Part 2ポスターセッションに集まった多くの生徒たちは、興味深い内容にうなずきながら聞いたり、疑問に思ったことは最後のQ&Aセクションで質問したりしていました。 On Nov. 21st, Day4 of HELLO Village Week II, there was the event ‘HELLO Village Week Poster Session’. We had the following 8 speakers or groups: one ALT, an English teacher, three exchange students, three Hiyoshi student-groups. Here are the topics in the poster session. Our ALT, Dewald, gave a talk about his country, South Africa. An English teacher, Nishikawa sensei, talked about her experience of studying abroad in Netherlands. Three exchange students, Nat, Katie, Emily, respectively introduced their home countries or states, Thailand, Washington (America), California (America), especially in terms of nature and sight-seeing places. The first student-group gave a speech about what they have done in Tsuno-chou Fieldwork in Miyazaki. The second group talked about their experiences in UK when they joined Tobitate Japan Studying Abroad Program. The third group introduced their activity with Vietnamese students in JAPANAM program. Each poster session was popular and attended by many students who listened to the speakers with increasing interest and asked questions in Q&A section. Finally, only one more day is left! Tomorrow, we will have two events ‘Globy Point Spree’ at lunch time and ‘KRIS CUP Speech Contest’ after school. HELLO Village Week II Day4 Part IOn Nov.21st, Day 4 of HELLO Village Week II, we had the lunchtime event ‘Hiyoshi Idol Talent Show’. So many students and teachers came to HELLO Village and held their breaths or cheered for the students who were a bit nervous but showed their talents and made amazing performances. On the show, we had 5 student performances: singing with instrumental accompaniment (3 groups), dance, and band performance. Each performance group received generous applause from the audience! Today, another event ‘Poster Session’ is also waiting for us this afternoon. HELLO Village Week II Day3HELLO Village Weekも残すところ2日となりました。明日はお昼休みに「Hiyoshi Idol Talent Show」、放課後に「Poster Session」が行われます。 On Nov. 20th, Day 3 of HELLO Village Week II, we had ‘Open ESS’ afterschool. About 40 students got together at HELLO Village and joined the activity ‘Identity Roulette’. In this activity, they first answered 6 questions such as ‘What is your hobby?’ and ‘What would your friends or family say about you?’. Here, they were allowed to make imaginative or fictional answers. After that, they exchanged their answers for other students’ ones in order to make a unique person whose features are composed of other students’ answers. The second and last activity was the mini ‘Globy Point Spree’. Students energetically did their missions and tried their best for getting many Globy points. Only two more days are left for HELLO Village Week II! ‘Hiyoshi Idol Talent Show’ and ‘Poster Session’ are waiting for us tomorrow. HELLO Village Week II Day2さて英語村に集まった日吉の生徒、日吉の留学生、そしてレクイドンの生徒たちは9チームに分かれ、クリス村長から出題されるクイズに挑戦しました。様々なクイズに国際色豊かなチームで協力して挑み、楽しく英語を話す時間を過ごすことができました。 今回出題された問題は、碁盤の目のように並んだ文字から英単語を探し出す「Word Search」、10本の海外の映画を年代順に並べる「Picture Round」、他のチームの解答を予測して同じ答えや唯一の答えを導き出す「Common Answer」と「One of a Kind」、洋楽のPVを見てその曲に関する問題に答える「Music Video」。生徒たちは正解するたびにガッツポーズなどをして盛り上がり、その喜びをチームメイトと分かち合っていました。 HELLO Village Week IIは来週の水曜日まで続きます。この後も「Hiyoshi Idol Talent Show」、「Kris Cup Speech Contest」などイベントが目白押しです。 On Nov. 17th, Day 2 of HELLO Village Week, we had ‘Pub Quiz Challenge’ at HELLO Village. Before the event, in commemoration of the interaction between Hiyoshigaoka and Le Quy Don Highschool, a traditional Vietnamese printing, traditional Vietnamese hats (Non la), and picture postcards were presented from Le Quy Don to Hiyoshigaoka! In Pub Quiz, Hiyoshi students, Le Quy Don students, and Hiyoshi exchange students, made 9 international teams and faced Kris’ challenge. They enjoyed working together in English for solving the following quizzes: ‘Word Search’ (finding meaningful words from letters arranged in a grid-like way), ‘Picture Round’ (putting 10 foreign movies in the right order), ‘Common Answers’ (guessing the same answer shared by the other teams), ‘One of a Kind’ (guessing a unique answer not shared by the other teams), and ‘Music Video’ (Watching a music video and answering the questions about it). HELLO Village Week II will last until Nov. 22nd. ‘Hiyoshi Idol Talent Show’, ‘Kris Cup Speech Contest’, and other events are waiting for us next week! HELLO Village Week II Day1初日の今日はお昼休みにオープニングセレモニーが行われ、放課後にALTたちによるプレゼンテーション「Language and Identity」が行われました。放課後のイベントでは、ALTのハロルドさんは言語のコードやシンボル的な側面について話し、アナスタシーアさんは多くの国で共通のジェスチャーなどについて紹介してくれました。また、エイスリンさんは言語とその話し手の自己との関わりについて説明してくれ、ディバルドさんは自身の出身国である南アフリカで話されている英語について教えてくれました。どのトピックの興味深く、集まった生徒たちはうなずきながらALTたちのプレゼンを聞いていました。 HELLO Village Week II はこの後も来週22日(水)まで続きます。この後も「Pub Quiz」、「Poster Session」「Kris Cup Speech Contest」などイベントが目白押しです。 HELLO Village Week II (Nov.16th-22nd) got started Today! The theme this time is ‘Identity’. We hope students will get a better understanding about themselves, by joining various events about identity in the Week. On the first day, we had the opening ceremony during lunchtime and ALT’s presentation ‘Language and Identity’ after school. In this presentation, our ALTs talked about various topics as follows: codes and symbols in languages (Harold), how we express our emotions and thoughts by gestures (Anastasiia), the idea that switching languages means changing identities (Aislinn), English in South Africa (Dewald). Students listened to each talk with interest and joined some activities such as Common Gestures and Guess the Word (in South African English). In HELLO Village Week II (Nov.16th-22nd), many other events, such as ‘Pub Quiz’, ‘Poster Session’ and ‘Kris Cup Speech Contest’ are waiting for us! 第17回日吉ヶ丘高校レシテーションコンテスト今年度の課題文はMichelle Obamaさんの「Advice to Students」でした。その内容は私たちが何者なのかを定義するのは成功体験ではなく、困難な状況に直面して下す判断の方だというものでした。 参加者たちは発表が始まるまでは緊張した面持ちでしたが、一人一人が内容をしっかり解釈し、自分なりの思いを込めて、身振り手振りと共に素晴らしい暗唱を披露してくれました。クリス村長も述べていた通り、全ての発表レベルが大変高く、また感情がこもっており、私たちの心に響きました。参加者の皆さん、大変印象的なレシテーションをありがとうございました。 レシテーション終了後はまず一つ目のアクティビティとして、本校に滞在しているタイからの留学生が自分の国について写真などを交えて紹介してくれました。参加した中学生たちは自分の知らない国の知らない町の話に興味深く聞き入っていました。その後は二つ目のアクティビティとして、本校生徒と共に、英語のゲームを楽しみました。初めて出会う生徒同士でペアを組み、話し合いながらゲームを行うことで、それぞれがコミュニケーションの楽しさを感じてくれていたように思います。 参加者、スタッフ、一人一人の尽力により、無事に開催され、素晴らしい大会となりましたこと、心より御礼申し上げます。今後もHELLO Village では様々な越境体験をみなさまに提供していければ思っています。 On Nov. 11th, the 17th Hiyoshigaoka Recitation Contest was held at HELLO Village. This time, 9 junior high school students who passed the screening process joined the final competition. The assignment this year was Michelle Obama’s ‘Advice to Students’ which tells us that what defines us is our choice we make in difficult moments, not in successful moments. All speakers first looked nervous, but once they started their performances, they showed the clear understanding of the essay and made great performances with effective gestures. As Kris, the Mayor of HELLO Village, said, all the speeches were so nice and expressive that we were all touched by them. Thank you for your impressive speeches. After that, when the judges had the serious problem deciding which speech was the best, we had two relaxing activities for the competitors. In the first activity, an exchange student from Thailand (who now studies at Hiyoshi) introduced his country and hometown. The attendants listened to his talk with interest. In the second activity, Hiyoshi students presented ‘mini Pub Quiz’. The contestants this time made teams and worked together, each enjoying communicating with other contestants in English. We are really glad that we had the recitation contest this year, and hope HELLO Village keeps giving opportunities for various crossing-border experiences to everyone. Halloween Event Part IIThe main event was, of course, making Jack-o’-Lanterns. Facing huge pumpkins, students worked together for carving pumpkins and put their hands in them. As a result of their efforts and ingenuity, we got seven Jack-o’-Lanterns each of which has its own unique face! At the end, we wrapped up Halloween Event by taking a group photo with our seven lanterns. Halloween Event Part IWe had Halloween Event at HELLO Village after school on October 25th. Students and ALTs wore costumes and became someone or something else. In the first part, students enjoyed Halloween-version games such as ‘word search’ and ‘nervous breakdown’. Then, ALTs gave a talk about the beginning and the history of Halloween and how people in the world enjoy Halloween. After the talk, as an activity, students were asked to escape from the ‘haunted’ HELLO Village by participating several English activities and collecting clues for a way out. |
