Japanese Students

By -
We have 12 students from
Ritsumeikan Keisho Junior High School 
from Sapporo, Japan visiting our school.
 
We have learnt how to say hello in Japanese - Konnichiwa. 
It's autumn in Japan at the moment. Did you know it snows in Sapporo in winter?
The students travel to school by bus or train and it takes over an hour to get there. There are over 500 students at their school. 

 
This afternoon we went on a school tour and played a game about our school environment.
We played an alphabet game where you try and find things around the school that start with the different letters of the alphabet.
It was really important that we talked to each other. We got to know the Japanese students better.
 

 
We hope that the students have a great time visiting our school and New Zealand.

    Mr Webb, that is a super idea! Room 14 (and the Japanese students) would love to do that on Monday.

Class Treaty

We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace.   The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree.  They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Swimming

Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.

You connect with them by looking at and commenting on their blogs. We will find out what they are learning about. We hope to also learn about their countries.
