THE JAPANESE WORD OF THE FORTNIGHT

だいすきです (pronounced ‘daisukides’) which means ‘love something’ or ‘like something very much’ is the Japanese Word for Week 1, 2 and 3 of Term 4 (as W3 assembly was cancelled due to inclement weather). You can use ‘だいすきです’ (‘daisukides’) to say you love something/like something very much. For example, if you want to say ‘I love sushi’, you say ‘Sushi daisukides’ (すしだいすきです). The word, ‘I’ is often omitted in conversation when it’s obvious. Also, for a casual situation, you don’t need to use ‘des’ at the end.

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

GRADE 5 OUTDOOR MATHS

The grade 5s explored various areas within the Valkstone boundaries last week. They used trundle wheels and their knowledge of multiplying length by width to calculate the area of the chicken coop, playgrounds and the cricket pitch among others. Students then proposed various areas within the school to contain new structures. Wouldn’t it be exciting to have a maze, a pirate ship or even an alpaca farm! (Maybe one day, please!)
