In Week 1 and 2, students have learned about Furoshiki wrapping cloth.
Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese fabric which has existed in Japan for over 1200 years. Students explored the history of ​Furoshiki, and how to use them. Since Furoshiki is reusable, we discussed about being eco-friendly and reducing paper wrapping waste.

In Week 1 and 2, students have explored Tanabata which is a Star Festival and celebrated every year on July 7.
Tanabata is based on a Chinese legend. It celebrates the meeting of two stars which are usually separated by the Milky Way.  
Students learned how people celebrate the festival throughout Japan. As a Tanabata decoration, students wrote their wishes on strips of paper.
