Learning about other cultures

Last Friday and today we have been fortunate to have Sara's Japanese student in class. We heard about his home life in Japan. He has joined us today for Mandarin class, Daily 5 where he did work on labelling household items, hard Algebra Maths and showed us origami.

Kaiya Suzuki  is doing a lot of learning in our country and has been lucky to go to the beach, do the Window Walk, experienced milking and a calf being born.

On the last day in class we had a Jan Pen Pon (paper, scissors, rock Japanese style) and Ethan took out the tournament.

Photos from our learning today.

  2. I have enjoyed working with Kaiya to create origami cranes because the cranes we made had a meaning and it was something we haven't done in a while. I think it is important to embrace all cultures in NZ because then we will have a better understanding of others and we can share ideas and thoughts to create a better community.
