Japanese Experiences in P4/3

Today has been an immersive day in lots of things Japanese.
We enjoyed experiencing some Japanese anime when we watched My Neighbour Totoro. This is a very popular anime created by a Japanese film studio, Studio Gibli. We watched a little part at the beginning in Japanese and then we changed it to English.
We then looked at the Japanese alphabet and tried writing some sounds in Japanese and we practised writing the Japanese words for animals. We found lots of the symbols were complicated to write.
in the afternoon we had a taster session of some Japanese food and we tried to use chopsticks to eat it. We tried sushi and some mochi, the mochi was definitely more popular than the sushi.

Lill y- I didn’t like the sushi

Jenson – I didn’t like any of the food, the outside of the mochi was weird

Jorja – It wasn’t good.

Joseph – The mochi felt weird in my mouth, it has a funny texture

Jake – I liked everything except the soy sauce and the outside of the mochi
