Year 6 Met with the Year 10 Sensei for a Cross-Age Japanese Lesson

Ms. Masako Chikushi

Japanese Sensei

This week, Year 6 students visited the Japanese room to experience Japanese language lessons. In their history lessons, Year 6 students studied the Edo Period. They developed their knowledge and understanding of Japanese traditional historical festivals and how specialists replace a castle’s roof. The students also learned some Hiragana letters: あいうえお!

In addition, four Year 10 students (Pink, Sean, Elf, and Earn) taught the Year 6 students how to count from 1 to 20 in Japanese. The Year 10 students have been learning Japanese since August 2023. Pink, Sean, Elf, and Earn said they had a great time with the Year 6 students. The Year 10 students successfully shared their skills with the Year 6 students. Making Origami Pikachu balloons was fun!

Year 6 students, I was very impressed by your enthusiasm for new learning. Well done. 

Arigatou ありがとう for visiting us.

Sensei (Ms. Chikushi)
