We have had fun with students dressing up in kimonos and learning Japanese songs and counting to ten. We have looked at pictures of the bullet

train on the internet and followed its path into the big cities. Some of our favouritestories from Japan include:
 
 

A Kite for Kimiko

The Two Bullies

The GratefulCrane

Under the Cherry Blossom Tree
 
 

Yoko
Masakuni and The Bees
 
 
 
 

We are researching Japanese culture and learning to make origami boats. One of our students was the teacher in origami!
