LEARNING BY DOING WOODWORK

INCURSION - GRADE 2

On Tuesday all of Grade 2’s got to participate in a Learning by doing woodwork incursion. We got to use hammers and saws to make wooden cars. It was a really fun incursion and we can’t wait to decorate our cars this week.

The Japanese Word of the Fortnight

ばっちり(pronounced ‘batchiri’) which means ‘perfect’ is the Japanese Word for Weeks 7 and 8 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.
