Year 7 Japanese

This week, Mrs Cross' Year 7 Japanese class learnt about Children's Day, a public holiday in Japan that marks the end of the period known as Golden Week. The day is celebrated by the flying of koinobori flags and kites made in the shape of carp fish, which look as if they are swimming when they flutter in the breeze.
