日本語 Term Overview: Junior Japanese- Term 2 2017
みんなさんこんにちは！
minnasan konnichiwa!
ようこそ (youkoso) to term 2 for 2017. Throughout this term reception students will be consolidating their knowledge of numbers 1-10 before moving into learning their colours in Japanese; and how they can apply this knowledge to other classes outside of the Junior Japanese room. This unit is supported through greetings, songs, gestures, games, and group activities which are all supportive of the Australian Japanese curriculum.
Year 1-4 students will be continuing their learning of weathers and seasons with basic sentence structures until half way through the term. Students will be creating a season kanji calligraphy booklet as part of their learning, as well as presenting a basic weather report to the class. The recognition of the kanji, as well as basic sentences is covered within the F-2 and the 3/4 curriculum.
In the second half of the term, students in years 1-3 will be focusing on the basic Japanese alphabet known as hiragana, while the year 3/4 class will also be learning about families. These units will continue through until half way through term 3 to help with consolidation of learning. Hiragana is highly important within Japanese learning as it allows students the ability to begin to read and write in the language and is covered in all curriculum brackets.
I look forward to having a fun and rewarding term 2!
Coghlan 先生 より.
