Level 2 Japanese Study group recap- Chore coupons for Mother’s Day

We focused on expressing kind words to Mum and practised saying them together with confidence.
It was so lovely to hear everyone speaking in Japanese as a group!

The kids also created “Chore Coupons” as a special gift 🎁
They used their Japanese skills to write and share helpful ideas for Mum.

Through this session, they:
✨ built confidence in speaking
✨ practised real-life expressions
✨ learned how to show kindness through language

Such a meaningful and heartwarming class 💛
We hope all the mums feel extra loved this Sunday!

Level 1 Japanese Study group recap- Mother’s Day in Japan 🇯🇵💐

Did you know we celebrate Mother's day on the same day as New Zealand?

We learnt kind and loving words for Mum and practised saying them in Japanese 💛
Then we got creative and made a special gift… “Chore Coupons”!

The kids practised writing:
“I’ll give you a hand”
“I’ll give you a hug”
“I’ll give you a shoulder massage”

They also came up with their own helpful chores for Mum 🥰
So thoughtful and sweet!

We can’t wait for them to give their gifts this Sunday 💐✨

Level 2 Japanese study group recap-Opposites🎏

Our Level 2 Japanese class explored 🎌 Children’s Day in Japan today!
Before our main activity, we practised Japanese words and Hiragana to build our vocabulary and reading skills ✏️✨

Then we learned about:
🎏 Koinobori decorations
🍡 Kashiwa-mochi
⚔️ Gogatsu Ningyo / Samurai armour dolls
We also explored Japanese opposite words and expressions!
Oishii = yummy 😋
Oishikunai = not tasty 🙈
It was a fun way to learn not only language, but also Japanese culture and manners 💛
And of course, we ended the class by making our own beautiful Koinobori craft 🎨🎏
So proud of everyone today! ✨

Level 1 Japanese study group recap-Fly high like Koi-nobori 🎏

Today in our Japanese class, we explored 🎌 Children’s Day in Japan!
It’s celebrated on 5th May during Japan’s biggest holiday, Golden Week ✨

We learned about:
🎏 Koinobori (flying koi fish decorations)
🍡 Kashiwa-mochi (a yummy special sweet mochi!)
⚔️ Gogatsu Ningyo / Samurai armour dolls for boys

We also talked about opposite words in Japanese!
“Kashiwa-mochi is Oishii! (yummy)” 😋
What’s the opposite?
Instead of saying Mazui (yucky/too strong 😅), we learned the softer word
👉 Oishikunai (not tasty)

To finish the session, everyone made their own colourful Koinobori craft 🎨🎏
So much fun while learning Japanese!

Level 2 Japanese Study Group recap-Konnichiwa It's Me!✨

We started by practicing Hiragana in our notebooks!
Everyone picked 3 cards and wrote the letters, words, and learned their meanings too 🌸

It’s such a great way to remember new Japanese words!

We also explored “My Bio”and practiced introducing ourselves 😊

At the end of an introduction, we learned to say:

“よろしくおねがいします/Yoroshiku onegaishimasu”
(Hope we get along together)

It’s a polite and friendly phrase you can use when meeting someone new or asking for something 💕

To finish the session, we played a matching letter game to help recognize more Hiragana letters 🎴

So much fun while learning Japanese!
See you next class ✨

Level 1 Japanese Study group Recap
🍎🍌🍇Back to class after the school holidays!🍎🍌🍇

Today we explored “My Bio” and practiced colors in Japanese 🌈
We also learned how to ask our friends:

“Nani iro ga suki desuka?”
(What color do you like?)

To finish the session, we played our version of "Fruits Basket" 🍎🍌🍇
It brought back so many sweet school memories!

Everyone chose a color and sat in a circle.
One person stood in the middle and called out a color, then everyone with that color had to quickly switch seats! 😆

And when we said “Zenbu!”(All!)
EVERYONE had to move! 💨

Learning Japanese through games with friends is always so much fun 💕
See you next class!

🐟Holiday craft workshop recap🐟
Volume 2 ✨

This time was a special little gathering just with friends 💛
We created a koi fish pond using balloons. Such a fun material that gave a beautiful lily pad effect 🌿

It was a lovely time catching up, making art, and exploring our imagination together 🎨
So simple, but so much joy.

If you like this kind of activity, I might consider running something similar next school holidays 😊
Let me know what you think!

🐥Holiday craft workshop recap🐥
Volume:1

What a session!
We celebrated our community centre's 10th anniversary with festival masks, mini piñatas, and SO much creativity. Everyone made the most adorable pieces.
At the end, we smashed a big piñata together. Let's just say the lollies didn't last long once the kids got involved. 🎉
