Today has been an immersive day in lots of things Japanese.
We enjoyed experiencing some Japanese anime when we watched My Neighbour Totoro. This is a very popular anime created by a Japanese film studio, Studio Gibli. We watched a little part at the beginning in Japanese and then we changed it to English.
We then looked at the Japanese alphabet and tried writing some sounds in Japanese and we practised writing the Japanese words for animals. We found lots of the symbols were complicated to write.
in the afternoon we had a taster session of some Japanese food and we tried to use chopsticks to eat it. We tried sushi and some mochi, the mochi was definitely more popular than the sushi.
Lill y- I didn’t like the sushi
Jenson – I didn’t like any of the food, the outside of the mochi was weird
Freya – I loved the sushi and the mochi
Macie – I loved the mochi, especially the ice-cream inside.
Siena – I thought they were both the best thing in the world
Jorja – It wasn’t good.
Abner – I liked everything, the ice-cream and the sushi
Grace – I loved it all especially the sushi with the soy sauce
Joseph – The mochi felt weird in my mouth, it has a funny texture
Jake – I liked everything except the soy sauce and the outside of the mochi
Lucy – I liked everything because the sushi was really nice, I liked the seaweed and the mochi was a different kind of ice-cream.
Philip – I liked the ice-cream but I didn’t like the sushi
Jude – I didn’t like the sushi, I didn’t like the taste of the seaweed but I liked the mochi
Amber – I didn’t like the sushi but I did like the mochi
