"Omusubi-Kororin": a Japanese story in English: July 10, 2007

ティム先生より

Today in Morning circle we did the “Rainbow” song but we rather than just singing the song.

We got everyone to hold up their coloured flash cards when they heard the colour on the song. This was a good listening activity.

We also played “Simon Says”. R.I. really enjoys this game and does really well in listening carefully to the teacher’s instructions.

One of the themes at the moment is “Sea Creatures” and the kids had to pretend to swim into the sea (under a plastic blue sheet) and find the Sea Creature that the teacher calls out.

This was a race between two people and they all had lots of fun with this activity.

Later on before going home they listened to a Japanese story in English called "Omusubi-Kororin" which is about Rice balls.

They all seemed curious about hearing it in English.
