Life in Japan

On Thursday, May 14, we had a special visitor named Yuka to tell the 1/2s about life in Japan. We learnt loads of interesting information. The Japanese have the same four seasons as we do, but in winter they have snow and the children build snowmen and snow houses. Real houses in Japan are quite similar to ours but they are smaller and are usually double storey - because Japan is a very small country with a very large number of people. Their special beds are rolled up and put away in a cupboard during the day to make more space in their homes. The children loved hearing that Wii, Hello Kitty and Yu-Gi-Oh were all created in Japan. We saw Japanese money, clothing, cherry blossom and even had a turn with chopsticks. THANK YOU, Yuki, for such a wonderful presentation about 'The World Around Us'!
