This year has flown by and the Takatsuki Friday Flyer class has been learning lots of English! Our class was full of unique and colorful personalities and we spent each lesson laughing and enjoying English.

In our very last unit of our textbook, Kids Box 5, we learned about polygons. We used vocabulary words like equal and unequal, angles and sides to talk about the different shapes! We even took out some geoboards and made our own shapes. “Can you guess what shape I made?”

For our end of the year project we focused on creative writing and did some activities to get our creative juices flowing! Here we have an imagination activity called The Hole. Who is in the hole? Why are they in the hole? How did they get there? The students got into pairs to write out their own stories.

Next we read some fairytales and got some ideas for how they are written by discussing desires and difficulties in each of the stories. Then we moved on to making our own fairytales with the Fill in the Holes fairytale project.

We used the fairytale template to write out our own original story! The Flyers have become more and more independent with their writing and it has been wonderful to see their improvement!

We compiled all of the stories together and made our very own Friday Flyers Fairytale Story Book! Below are some comments from the students about the Friday Flyers class!

Student E: I learned how to speak English. I liked writing in my journal.

Student H: I learned how to ask many questions. I liked playing games.

Student MN: I learned about writing stories. I liked listening to the CD and reading the textbook.

Student S: I learned how to write a story. I liked computer time.

Student MM: I learned how to ask questions. I liked my friends and my teacher.



Thank you for a wonderful year!
