This is a parent-child participatory event that focuses on "life education," which has been emphasized in junior high school entrance exams in recent years, and aims to learn about the mechanisms of society rooted in daily life under the theme of "creating your own town." (Special page: https://www.tomas.co.jp/spec/guidance/)

In recent years, junior high school entrance exams in the Tokyo metropolitan area have become increasingly competitive, with both the number of applicants and the application rate steadily rising. Exam questions have also seen a dramatic increase in the amount of writing required compared to 20-30 years ago, with many questions designed to test "thinking skills" and "expression skills." Problems that test "life education," which involves general knowledge rooted in daily life and the mechanisms of society rather than mere memorization of facts, are also increasing. This guidance will discuss the abilities required for junior high school entrance exams, focusing on such life education.

Theme ─ Let's Create a Town (Target: Elementary school students in grades 1-3 and their parents) In recent junior high school entrance exams, knowledge of "life education" is highly valued. Taking an interest in the mechanisms of society, beyond just classroom learning, is a step towards success. This time, using "facility cards" such as schools, hospitals, and police stations, participants will create their own town on a map. Let's cultivate logical thinking by considering "why build it in this location" and acquire practical knowledge.
