Danjiri cart pulling festival.
Students writing their names on my English board. :)
English/EFL/SEN teachers, would anyone like to create a pen pal system with me and my schools in Japan? I teach in two elementary schools (up to age 12).
We have projectors and a screen that sticks on the board too. ;) We also have a fax machine in regular use in the staff room... gives me dial up flashbacks.
Probably the most technologically advanced nation on the planet uses a chalkboard for teaching. Think about that.
I have blackboards and my handwriting looks atrocious on them. 😪
Who remembers the rolling blackboard?
The deer in Nara are friendly. They eat senbei that you can buy for 200 yen. They will come to you and bow if they are hungry. You can find them around the parks and the temples. It was sunny today so most were in the shade.
Been soaking up Nara today.

The laminator is my best friend. Who wants to learn shapes!?
Has a pen EVER exploded on you? In my 32 years of life it has never happened but it seems to happen to my pupils everyday...

Isn't it SO WEIRD that there's a massive positive correlation between "Students who are generally badly behaved" And "Students who always need the toilet in lessons" SO WEIRD

My Year 6s finished primary school today and it was so nice seeing them in their cute little outfits. They all did a speech about their goals in the future. The ceremony was so formal. Japan takes graduations very seriously.
I don't get half terms. Been chugging along since December. 😭
Is it just me or has this been the l o n g e s t half term ever. How is there STILL 3 weeks left!?
WAGOLL for Year 4. They're making books about their day.
Made bookmarks for my graduating class. They love joined up writing. 😅 中学校で頑張れます!
My English board for March. Did you know schools in Japan graduate in March? I'm busy making graduation presents.
I have finally found the password to this account and guess what! I live in Japan now. I teach 4-12 year olds, which is a big change. Settled on the conclusion that I just love teaching. 🥰

Can't have a party so we had a Bob Ross gathering.

Never done an interview where I had to deliver someone else's lesson. Weirdest experience!
