Looking Forward
As we enter the 4th week of our temporary closure due to coronavirus Covid-19, we are are starting turn our minds to the new school year.
All being well, we hope to reopen englishpool to children's classes from the second week of April, as usual after the school spring break. To that effect today we've put details of our children's courses on the window, as with nothing happening inside englishpool we were in danger of looking like we'd closed permanently! Which is definitely not the case!
PLEASE NOTE: Of course this is all dependent on the current advice from the government, both national and local, but basically if the Elementary Schools, Junior High Schools and High Schools return then we will follow their lead.
フォニックス a box
Paul helps you read 'a box', the third book in the Jelly and Bean series by Marlene Greenwood. He also attempts to demonstrate 'a cat in a big box'!

What's for Dinner?
We may still be closed to children's lessons because of the ongoing coronavirus crisis but don't let that stop you learning some new words! I've made this video for our Elementary B/C students (小学生B/C) to introduce the vocabulary used in the final unit of their textbook, Explore Our World level 3. It may be aimed at our upper-elementary aged students but don't let that stop you watching and learning some new words!
Enjoy!
