Japanese & French Excursions

Japanese Excursion (Year 9 & 10)

いただきます！(Itadakimasu!)

This is what Japanese people say before eating their meals, which teaches respect for all living things. They say this while putting their hands together and bowing slightly to thank to the plants, animals, farmers, chefs, and everything that went into the meal.

Over the last fortnight, the Year 9 and 10 Japanese students visited the Consulate-General of Japan for a cultural seminar, learning about Japanese food, manners and travelling. After the seminar, students visited SuperHiro Japanese restaurant in the city to experience authentic Japanese dining. The students had dishes such as the Tonkatsu lunch set, Teriyaki Salmon lunch set and much more, finishing their meals with Black Sesame and Matcha Ice cream. おいしかったです!  (It was delicious!). 

The students also participated in a scavenger hunt where they had to search for Japanese products such as Japanese lemonade, stationary and sweets at Daiso!

いただきます！これは食事をする前に言うあいさつです。手をあわせて、軽くおじぎをします。

日本語クラスの９年生と１０年生はメルボルンりょうじかんでカルチャーセミナーに参加し、和食やマナーや旅行について学びました。セミナーの後にシティにあるスーパーヒロという日本食レストランに行きました。生徒たちは、トンカツランチセットやてりやきサーモンなど、さまざまなランチセットを食べました。ごまアイスとまっちゃアイスも食べました。おいしかったです！

それから、ダイソーに行って、スカベンジャーハントをしました。ラムネや日本のぶんぼうぐやおかしなど２０個のアイテムを探しました！
