Students who are studying Japanese this year went to Eastland in the last week of Term 2 to discover where Japanese language and culture is evident in the community. Much to their delight, Japanese was everywhere!

Students were asked to complete a treasure hunt of activities which saw them locating and writing Japanese, plus spotting aspects of Japanese culture in the stores. All students interviewed a local Japanese resident in the community in Japanese which was a real confidence booster for many of our students. The class then tried a range of Japanese food for lunch; of course using chopsticks!

A great day was had by all and we hope this will inspire our students to continue to put effort into their language learning.
