There is some exciting news from the Japanese room! In the school holidays an electronic whiteboard will be installed. All of the classes will be able to play games and become interactive on many Japanese websites.
Some great websites to get you started are:
Origami Club – where you can see many different origami patterns and even watch a cartoon showing you how to make the origami! Why don’t you have a try making origami at home and then show Julie sensei what you have made?
