Good Morning everyone. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. I hope you managed to see some friends and family at the weekend. Charlie and I visited my mum and dad again. We sat in their garden and enjoyed the lovely weather. We are having another themed week this week. This week’s theme is Japan. This was the most popular choice when you voted a few weeks ago. Space week was great. Let’s make our Japan themed week even better.

Health and Wellbeing

Did you know that there is an exercise routine every morning in Japan? Japanese people usually do this exercise in the morning maintain their health. Actually this kind of exercise is popular in Japan, China and Taiwan. In Japan, they usually say it as “Rajio Taisou” (ラジオ体操). It is from two words, “Rajio”（ラジオ), which means Radio in Japanese, and the word “Taisou”（体操, which means physical exercise in Japanese. Have a go at some Rajio Taisou!

Reading

This week we are going to read a short book called, ‘Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes’.

This is the blurb from the book that tells you a little about the story.

This story is a true story about a girl named Sadako who lived in Hiroshima, Japan. Sadako dreams to be a very good runner but when she gets dizzy, she can’t live that dream. She gets to a hospital and realizes that it is the leukemia hospital.
