Year 1 Japanese studies

Acting Head of Primary School Languages Machiko Ohta reports that our Year 1 Japanese students have been learning about health choices, recreation (sports) and leisure (hobbies/family). During the term, students explored what they can do to stay healthy and talked about their favourite sports.  Last week, students learned about Japanese traditional toys such as kendama, darumaotoshi, koma and hanetsuki and enjoyed playing with them and discussing their favourite toys. 

Two boys in school uniforms play with a wooden toy in a classroom during Year 1 Japanese. One boy stands and tosses the toy, while the other sits and aims to land it on a peg. Other children working at desks are visible in the background.

Three children in school uniforms play a game indoors, using wooden bats to hit small pink objects. Colourful dots mark the carpet as they enjoy a Year 1 Japanese activity, with educational materials and books visible in the background.
