Japanese Program TERM 3 2017

Minasan Konnichiwa

This term in Japanese classes (Years 4-7) students will be working on improving their hiragana reading and writing skills. Students from Year 5-7 were given a pre test at the start of the term to see how much hiragana they remembered and each student will be working on improving their initial test score. Some students are also working on their katakana writing system skills after getting full marks on their pre- test. As I have mentioned to the students in the class if they are unhappy with their pre-test marks hiragana and Japanese language learning in general requires practise. If you don’t use it you lose it. The students have Education Perfect, the Edmodo learning site and most have devices that could easily have hiragana apps loaded onto them. A few minutes a week on top of the two lessons they have in class would make a huge difference to their retaining the writing system. Not to mention its a brilliant way to exercise the brain!
During classes students will have the opportunity to participate in a number of activities each geared for different types of learners. Each fortnight there will be a test on the hiragana that the students are working on.
Happy hiragana learning Flagstaff Hill R-7 students!
