Excursion to the Nihongo Tanken Centre

On Friday, 19th May, the Year 8 Japanese class visited the Nihongo Tanken Centre for an immersion day. 

The centre is a Japanese-style building with traditional Japanese interiors and a beautiful garden. Our students experienced a full day immersed in the language and culture of Japan.  Only Japanese was spoken with limited English, if necessary. They participated in stimulating, competitive and fun activities on authentic tatami mats. 

For lunch they enjoyed a tasty Obento box whilst viewing the tranquil, traditional Zen garden. A lovely way to complete an enriching experience which will contribute to their Japanese language learning. Thank to Mr. Forsyth for accompanying twenty eight Year 8 students for a big day.
