Origami Club News
Origami Club is back in G5 every Wednesday lunch. Origami club returned in Week 8 of this term. We have been focusing on making Easter Origami in the last couple of weeks. Have a look at these cute rabbits! There is even a little pocket for you to put your easter egg in. Kawaii desu ne (It’s cute, isn’t it?)
Year 8 Japanese
Year 8 Japanese ended the term presenting information on major cities in Japan that they had researched collaboratively in class. The students had to research three major cities in Japan and include information about its geography, population, interesting places to visit and specialty foods. They had to analyse which city would be the best to visit in comparison to the other cities that they had researched.

Year 9 Japanese
In Year 9 Japanese, we have been learning new katakana and new kanji alongside learning how to pronounce each character. We have also learnt how to ask and respond to multiple different questions such as facts about family, where we come from, where we live and our nationality.
Our class has been learning through various teaching methods including Quizlet, Kahoot, workbook activities, surprise quizzes and slideshows

Our class has finished off this term with a fun origami activity to celebrate Easter. This has been an enjoyable experience with our sensei (teacher) and we look forward to the next term of Japanese class.
The students have also learnt how to use a genkouyoushi and have written a detailed description of their family whilst following the genkouyoushi rules.

Year 10 Japanese
This is the third year we will be taking Japanese as a subject and it was a great decision. Doing Japanese in Year 10 is both a challenge and a fun experience, especially learning about all the different scripts, sentence structures and vocabulary.
This term we looked at time, invitations, and different types of housing in Japan. We also hope to personally view traditional housing, as well as use these items we have learnt in casual conversations. Throughout the years, we have gained a lot of knowledge on Japanese lifestyles and culture, and would soon hope to use what we have learnt in various situations.
