The Super Popular [Field Trip Plus]—This Time, We're Trying Our Hand at Shiitake Mushroom Picking & Cooking!

Hello, this is Mai from GLI!

"I want people to have more fun using English."
"I want to help my child broaden their interests and expand their view of the world."

For those of you who feel that way, on Sunday, November 22,The popular "Field Trip Plus" event will be heldThe following is a summary of the results of the project!

The main theme this time is"Shiitake Mushroom Picking"It is!

Everyone,How the shiitake mushrooms we eat every day are grown and harvestedDo you know?

Even with foods you often see at the supermarket, seeing how they’re actually grown or harvesting them yourself can lead to many new discoveries.

On this field trip,From shiitake mushroom picking to cooking, and even giving a presentation in English!While having fun learning about food, we'll also take on the challenge of sharing our experiences in English!

A day full of experiences and discoveries! ✨

On this field trip as well,Through many experiences and discoveries

✔︎ New experiences broaden your horizons 🌍

✔︎ You'll love English even more ✨

✔︎ Discover something new you'll love ☺️

While there are various benefits, such as these, here’s how the day will unfold.

① Try your hand at shiitake mushroom picking at Tokyo Mushroom Land!

First,Tokyo Mushroom LandOff we go!

Let's harvest the shiitake mushrooms with our own hands while observing how they actually grow.

Even shiitake mushrooms, which we usually eat without giving them a second thought, can be seen in a new light when we experience harvesting them,You might find yourself becoming interested in the ingenuity of the people who grow the food and the process it goes through before it reaches us.Maybe not.

"So this is how shiitake mushrooms grow!" "I harvested them myself!"

I really hope you’ll get to experience those kinds of discoveries and joys.

② Let's cook with the shiitake mushrooms we harvested!

After picking shiitake mushrooms, take the mushrooms you’ve harvested home, andTry Your Hand at Simple Cooking in the ClassroomI will do so!

What we're making this time is,Butter-Sautéed Shiitake MushroomsandMini Pizzas with Shiitake MushroomsThat's right♪

Cooking with shiitake mushrooms you’ve harvested yourself might spark even more interest in food ✨ Adults do the cooking, while children learn about cooking and ingredients—all while keeping safety in mind.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for—"Tasting Time"Also!

Do you think the shiitake mushrooms we harvested will taste different from the ones we usually eat?

See where food is grown, harvest it, cook it, and actually eat it.Through this series of experiences, we hope you’ll discover the joy of eating.

③ You can make it at home, too! Let's come up with our own recipes!

The event is,It doesn't end with just eating!

"I wonder if I can make something with shiitake mushrooms at home?"

With that in mind, let's come up with some shiitake recipes that you could make yourself!

Thinking about recipes using everyday ingredients not only broadens children’s interest in food but also provides an opportunity for them to help out with cooking at home.

When it's a recipe you came up with yourself, it really makes you want to give it a try, doesn't it? ♪

④ Let's give a presentation in English about what we experienced!

On this field trip, we didn't just experience things, but also...I also took on the challenge of organizing what I had learned and presenting it in EnglishI will do so!

I’ll summarize what I’ve learned by reflecting on my experiences—what I discovered while picking shiitake mushrooms, what I felt while cooking, and the recipes I came up with on my own. Then, I’ll present my findings in my own words!

One of the appeals of this event is that it allows participants not only to “study” English but also to challenge themselves to “communicate” through real-life experiences.

An opportunity to develop the ability to organize one's thoughts and communicate them to othersIt can also be a

Make new discoveries with friends you don't usually hang out with!

It is precisely because the field trip is a joint event involving all three campuses that,One of the program’s key features is the opportunity to participate in activities with friends you don’t usually interact with, as well as friends from outside the group.It is.

By working together with new colleagues and sharing your discoveries and ideas, you can also be exposed to ways of thinking that differ from your own.

Not just English, but also the joy of interacting with others and an opportunity to broaden your horizonsI'm hoping to get there someday!

Let’s broaden children’s horizons through hands-on experiences!

What I want to focus on during this field trip is,For children to actually see, touch, think, and experience things.

✔︎ Learn how food is grown and harvested
✔︎ Deepen your interest in cooking and eating by using ingredients you’ve harvested yourself
✔︎ Organize your experiences and ideas and communicate them in English
✔︎ Connect with new people and broaden your interests and horizons

Experiences like these are important for children becauseA chance to discover something new you'll love!I'd be happy if that were the case!

Whether your child is interested in food, wants to try their hand at cooking, or just wants to have fun learning English, why not join us?

Let's step out of our usual classroom and spend a day full of fun discoveries!

In this issue.Capacity: "12 people"! This is a very popular event, so it may sell out quickly. If you're interested, please sign up before it sells out.

We look forward to seeing you there! ☺️
