Wishing you happy holidays!

I would like to say thank you so much for your support this year, especially my first year at Woodend.

Students worked really hard and learned more about the language and culture of Japan.  Ultimately this leads to intercultural understanding, appreciation of own and others’ cultures and mutual respect.

In week 8 or 9, students will bring their Japanese book home, as well as their character card they made this term.  I would appreciate if you could spend time to have a look at their book and have some conversations on what your child has learnt this year in Japanese.

Wishing you all very happy and safe holiday season!

Japanese updates

It has been a while since my last blog post.

I would like to let you know what has been happening in the Japanese lessons.

At the end of Term 3, students from Room 9, 10, 11, 24 and 30 had a lesson of “Sushi Masterchef”.  They made their own sushi roll, plated it up and judged each other’s dish. They made a great sushi and it was an enjoyable lesson for all.

This term all classes are learning adjectives using Pokemon characters.  They are making their own character card and then describe their character in Japanese. Here are some examples.
