January- learning about JAPAN ( wrap-up)

The whole of our January was dedicated to learning about JAPAN. It was really great and interesting. D. fell in love with this country and hopefully one day our dream to visit it will come true.
We did lots of fun activities, read plenty of books, learned lots of new things, there's a lot that we couldn't fit in so looking forward to returning to our "japanese adventures" soon.

Our activities this month can be found here
Here is the wrap-up post in which I'll put together books and links that I found helpful.
