Culture Month (Mrs Gibb)
This month’s Country of the Month is… Japan!
When you see each other, rather than saying hello, let’s use the Japanese word for hello instead:
こんにちは
Kon’nichiwa
Did you know: Japanese people celebrate the start of Spring with a bean-throwing ritual. This is said to ward away evil spirits and welcome good fortune.
