The children in Primary 2 now know the numbers to 10 in Japanese. We had a visit today from a friend of mine who has lived and worked in Tokyo. She taught them numbers amongst other things and they have all brought home 1 yen! Ask them to tell you how much 1000 yen is worth in our money. This is all because we have been finding out about Japan this week. The children have researched information on the netbooks about Tokyo, they have done pastel drawings of cherry blossom and some have used tissue paper and frogs using origami.
We have had fun doing capacity this week – lots of water and activities. Also we have started to look at position and direction and the children have drawn their own treasure islands with directions for their partners to find the treasure.
Also Japanese wise we have made up our own Haiku poems about summer – 3 lines – 5 syllables,7 syllables and 5 syllables. We had fun composing them.
Practised for sports day and learnt colours in French with Mrs.Newton. So a busy week and looking forward to our Fitness week next week. Have a good weekend.
