Today Grade 4 took the school on a ‘journey’ to Japan for their annual school assembly.
They boarded Japanese Airlines to Tokyo and visited the sites and explored the culture. Along the way they shared their knowledge of Japanese language, martial arts, cherry blossoms, Midori (the world’s oldest Koala) all whilst enjoying the ‘inflight entertainment’ of Pokémon and feasting on the delicious Japanese cuisine served by the cabin crew.
All was made possible due to our marvellous Captain Joshua.
The content was taken from the exciting lessons provided by our wonderful Diocese of Broken Bay- Japanese Stem teachers.
