The English Club of the school promotes learning English through various activities outside the usual English class. These activities involve play and games that enhance English learning actively. Last january 25, 2023, the two first graders of Kuchinoshima Middle School enjoyed learning English during their English Club through a board game called "Snakes and Ladders". With this game, they were able to learn the basic and the most used English terms while playing. These basic terms include days of the week, months of the year, basic action words, numbers, etc.
After playing the board game, they used their tablets for an online game that enhances their vocabulary on food, animals, places, and events. With these game, they unknowingly learned the different English terms while playing. With this game, they have to reach the goal in a limited time so they need to do their best in memorizing the English terms. These terms are backed up with pictures so they can understand the meaning of the words. Through this, their vocabulary will increase.
The two students enjoyed the English Club activities and they are excited to have another English Club time.
It is always better to be prepared before a calamity. An emergency drill was conducted in Kuchinoshima in preparation for calamities like earthquakes and tsunamis. Students and teachers of Kuchinoshima Elementary and Middle School actively participated in the drill. The students and teachers gathered at the school ground and were told on the important things to do before, during, and after a disaster. As indicated in the protocol of the drill, all the residents proceeded to the centerpoint, the Community Center.
