こんにちは!
Konnichiwa!
Term 2 has really flown by very quickly and students are coming to the end of their learning about families and
sports in Japanese.
This term students in Reception to Year 2 have continued to learn vocabulary for families and have created a
family tree in Japanese. You might see some of these come home soon. Please see some examples of these
further in the newsletter.
Year 3-6 students have been continuing to learn their sports, with a particular focus on reading and speaking
related vocabulary and grammar in Japanese.
Year 7 students have been working on a video project. Students have begun to plan and create a video language
resource to share with students and staff across the site. Some students have even begun filming. It has been
a great experience from my perspective to see the students target particular vocabulary/grammar and really
become experts in it. We are looking forward to sharing these in Term 3.
This year yr 5/6, yr 6 and yr 7 classes will be visiting Parafield Gardens High School (PGHS) as part of the
High School Transition Program. With support from Salisbury Council, students from Mawson Lakes will be
teaming with students from PGHS to make 4 Tori gates to use for the Matsuri on Mobara Festival in October
this year. It is a very exciting project and one that we will be very proud to show case at the festival.
Please feel free to contact me via the school or email: [email protected]
Hope you have a happy and safe holiday!
Kind Regards,
Erin Sensei
こんにちは。 Konnichiwa from Maria.
We have had successful participation from all students in their 日本語にほんご nihongo (Japanese) classes.
After a term of learning various grammar and vocabulary relating to the allocated topics (ie. Sports and
Family), we are collecting data on the learnt outcomes.
We have also spent time reflecting on our learning and what learning students would like to continue with,
which will shape our learning curriculum for the second part of the year.
Hope you have a great and safe holiday and see you all in Term 3.
よろしくおねがいします。
