2025 Term 1 Japanese

PLC

PLC students are off to a wonderful start in their first year of learning Japanese.
In the past few weeks, students learned greetings in Japanese: こんにちは (Konnichiwa: Hello) and さようなら (Sayounara: Goodbye). To get familiar with Japanese writing, students traced Japanese letters with playdough and did a great job! 

SLC

SLC students started a new unit focusing on positivity for the last 3 weeks. 
In this unit, students explored the power of using Positive Self-Talk. Students learned the six positive Japanese words and are encouraged to use them anytime, anywhere. Students made the badge with a choice of Positive Japanese words. I hope your child has shared with you and family what they wrote in the badge. 
Another new thing students are learning is to sing "If you are happy and you know it" in Japanese.
