On Monday we started our Japan topic. We had to choose a traditional Japanese family name and explain why we chose it. Most Japanese family names (like ours) have a meaning .e.g. AKIYAMA means ‘autumn mountain’. The Scottish surname Campbell means ‘crooked-mouthed’.
We had to draw ourselves wearing traditional Japanese clothing, write our own skills and qualities, record what we already know about Japan and what we wanted to learn.
Introducing the families:
The Moto family
The Yamamoto family
The Saito family 
The Tsukino family 
The Yamada family 
The Kimura family 
The Sato family
