Class 5 explores the wonders of Japan

On Wednesday 11th March, Class 5 embarked on an immersive cultural journey as part of our Project Day celebrations. Following their previous explorations of Australia and Poland, the young people turned their attention to the rich traditions of Japan.

The day was filled with creativity and discovery. The young people delved into the symbolism of the cherry blossom tree before painting their own beautiful interpretations, which are now brightening up our classroom display.

The excitement continued into PE, where the class tried out traditional Japanese activities. A particular highlight was the high-stakes tug of war, where the young people’s teamwork led them to a triumphant victory against the adults!

To round off the physical activities, the young people practiced Tai Chi, following the rhythmic movements of 'The Tale of a Dragon'.

The day concluded with a deep dive into the world of Pokémon and Anime—a huge hit that left everyone inspired by Japan’s modern pop culture.
