Japanese

Students in all grades have been focusing on learning numbers this term. 

Prep is learning to count numbers from 1 to 10 in Japanese.  They can sing a Japanese song “7 steps”.  This song is very catchy and easy to learn.  After Prep have their Japanese lesson Mrs Cox usually has them listen to their song several times and it can give her a headache. 

Grade 1 and 2 can count numbers easily and they can recognise numbers in Japanese writing.  

Grade 3 and 4 have learnt Japanese money and currency.  They can also count objects in Japanese.   

Grade 5 and 6 are practising ordering food and asking for the price in Japanese.

This week, students will use real jelly stick to count jellies and practice ordering food in Japanese.

During assembly, some students received “Outstanding Learning Behaviour” recognition for their Japanese study.  To receive this recognition students’ need to be demonstrating outstanding learning behaviour for most of the time. It was pleasing to see  students receive this Certificate.

Have a happy holiday! I cannot wait to see you again. Take care everyone!
