Japanese Day

Our very first Japanese Day has been fantastic! The kids have really enjoyed spending a day learning about different aspects of Japan. 
The children were split into three groups and worked through the following activities throughout the day:

- Japanese Cooking with Mrs Hancock where they were busy making okonomiyaki which is a savoury pancake is made up of flour, dashi, cabbage, water and bacon. 

- Japanese art with Miss Jury where we have been busy creating Sakura Lanterns to celebrate the Hanami Festival (ask your children to explain).

- And we have been so fortunate to have Saho take our third group and learn origami, Japanese games and how to write their name in kanji. Saho is visiting from Japan so we are so lucky to have to skills and knowledge here helping us out. 

Its been a brilliant day where the children have worked hard to use their new language skills and learn a bit more about the Japanese culture.
