Grade 1 and 2 students can understand some colours in Japanese and have traced Japanese vowels writing characters.Grade 3 and 4 students can read a few Japanese letters and understand somenouns written in Japanese.

Grade 5 students have been busy learning Japanese writing systems and writing characters and pronunciation.Grade 6 students had lots of speaking practice for making a video letter for Arioka Primary School in Japan.
