The Japanese Word of the Fortnight

ばっちり(pronounced ‘batchiri’) which means ‘perfect’ is the Japanese Word for Week 2 & 3 of Term 4. You can simply use ‘ばっちり’ (‘batchiri’) instead of ‘perfect’ when you are feeling perfect or when you see something perfect.

It is a casual word. You can add ‘です’ (pronounced ‘des’) at the end to make it more polite and say ’ばっちりです’ (pronounced ‘batchiri des’).

Thank you / ありがとうございます (pronounced ‘aligatoh gozaimas’) for your continuing support for our Japanese program.

MELBOURNE AQUARIUM

PREP EXCURSION

On Friday October 13th the Preps went on their very first school excursion to the Melbourne Aquarium. We had a guided tour of the aquarium and saw the Penguins, jellyfish, a crocodile and so many fish. We were even lucky enough to go to a 4D movie of Happy Feet. The Aquarium Educators could not believe that this was the Preps first excursion, they were respectful, asked interesting questions and were beautifully behaved. We had a great day.
