Learning about Japan- 2012

In 2011 we learned a lot about Japan, the time has come for us to refresh some of the information and learn some more. So last week it was all about Japan in our house

Our activities:

  • We read and wrote some haiku.



our otedama

  • We played math game called Shiritori math game, which basically consists of making up new number sentences using the answer from the previous number sentence.

  • We made some oregami (yay! this year it was much easier that last), we listened to the music (great tracks from Orange Range: Hana, Kizuna, Silent Night , some excellent stuff by Joe Hisaishi , lullabies)
  • We read some great books, check out our Reading about Japan book list over at our "bookshelf" blog.
  • Finally, we tried some Japanese food, kids are definitely warming up to miso soup, but still wouldn't eat sweets, oh well, more for me :)
