Stage 5 Japanese

Stage 5 Japanese Excursion to Tanken Centre

On Friday, 29th April, the Stage 5 Japanese class visited the Nihongo Tanken Centre in Kirrawee 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 for a 4 hours structured session including Japanese interviews, finding Hiragana/Katakana words for food and sports, charade, restaurant role play, Japanese mathematics, translation etc. They participated in stimulating, competitive and fun activities to enhance Japanese listening, reading and speaking skills 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. Tanoshi kata ne!
