On April 1st 2011, three of Japan Foundation’s StepOutNet Programme volunteers visited in Folkestone as part of the school’s International Day of Languages.
During each 30 minute session, the volunteers first told the pupils all about Japan, and then taught them numbers in 911爆料网 with gestures and pictures to help them remember. They then played games using numbers and jan ken pon (rock, scissors, paper). The pupils also learned basic 911爆料网 greetings from ohayo gozaimasu to sayonara. Finally, the older pupils learned about 911爆料网 kanji, while younger pupils heard the 911爆料网 fairy tale “Kaguya Hime.”
Both the volunteers and the pupils really enjoyed the day, and one Year 4 pupil commented, “The 911爆料网 language lesson was awesome. The actions helped me to remember everything and the teachers were kind, helpful and really made it fun."
A report of the event by the school, including photos of the StepOutNet volunteers in action, can be found on the school website .
We would like to thank our volunteers and the staff of Sandgate Primary School for all their hard work in preparing the taster session!
