Today we had a visitor from Japan. His name was Masaya. Masaya is Isaac J’s cousin. We started by introducing ourselves in Japanese. Masaya was very impressed with our pronunciation. We taught Masaya, 'Heads, shoulders, knees and toes', in English then we did it in Japanese. Next we learnt how to form three more sentences:
1) My favourite food is...
2) Food I dislike a lot is...
3) I like (type of sport) a lot.
Masaya enjoyed a performance of Haere Mai which we gave to welcome him to our school.
It was a great opportunity to ask Masaya all of our questions about Japan and Japanese life. We were very thankful to have Masaya visit our class on his short trip to New Zealand. We also thank him very much for the gifts he brought us.
Get ready to be tested on the new sentences you learnt Room 6. It was great to see you so interested about Asaya's life in Japan.
ReplyDeleteAsaya was an amazing visitor and he gave us plenty of information to help us with our Japanese learning.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you all got to practise your japanese language with a native speaker, as well as share your native language with him! I was wondering what the significance of the circular gifts that he gave the class are? Interesting stuff.
