The Japanese Word of the Fortnight

だいじょうぶ (pronounced ‘daijohbu’) which means ‘Are you alright? / alright’ is the Japanese Word for Week 2 & 3 of Term 2. You can say ‘’ (‘daijohbu’) to someone who is not feeling well or hurt instead of saying ‘Are you alright?’. As an answer, you can also say ‘だいじょうぶ (‘daijohbu’)’ to mean ‘I’m alright’.

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

MUSIC NOTES

Dear Parents,

Hooray! Junior Choir has commenced each Friday between 1:00 - 1:25 p.m. and the students from Grades 1-4 are all very excited and enthusiastic.

Junior Choir students are encouraged to bring along a plastic display book (approximate cost - $2.00 from Officeworks and Newsagencies). These books enable students to bring music home in a neat and orderly fashion so they can practise in their own time.

Grade 5 and 6 Senior Choir has also commenced. These sessions are between 1:00 - 1:25 p.m. every Thursday. There are certainly some fabulous voices coming from our music room and we have great fun!

A multi-level ukulele group, consisting of children from grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 commenced in Term One with students jamming and learning together every Tuesday between 1:00 – 1:25 p.m.

It’s never too late to join in, and all students from Grade 3 and up are welcome!
