Online lessons never stop the students at BNPS from learning the language and culture of Japan! 

The Year 1 and 2 students have enjoyed listening and singing Japanese songs, the Year 3 students have created a new Japanese alphabet (in line with their unit of inquiry; Invention) and  the Year 4 students have started writing a greeting card to reply to their Japanese friends’ letter.

Year 5 and 6 students have enjoyed a Japanese trivia quiz on Tokyo Paralympic games and will experience Japanese sense of humour called RAKUGO.

WHAT IS RAKUGO?

Rakugo is a 300-400 year old tradition of comic monologue storytelling in Japan.　A minimalistic performing art, Rakugo features a lone storyteller dressed in a kimono kneeling on a cushion using only a fan and a hand towel as props. There are currently over 700 professional storytellers practicing.

Laughter may be beneficial to your health

• Relaxes your muscles
• Eases anxiety and tension
• Improves mood.

So, let’s enjoy Japanese RAKUGO!
