Japanese Club
You never stop learning. If you are a teacher, you never stop being a student.
To continually improve the teaching and learning of languages at SFCC, Ms. Tooby participated in an Intensive Japanese Teaching Seminar during our Term 3 Holiday Break. The 4-day seminar centered around immersion in the Japanese language, with all sessions taught and facilitated in Japanese. The Japanese teachers who attended were able to develop their teaching ideas and knowledge of Japan as it is today, by participating in workshops that focused on Japanese culture, language, and history.
Some of the cultural workshops included practicing the art of furoshiki (Japanese cloth wrapping), shodou (Japanese Calligraphy), and learning about current Japanese trends such as Gacha Gacha (Japanese Capsule Toys).
Ms. Tooby is looking forward to engaging Year 8 Japanese students with all that she learned during her time at the seminar. The members of the Japanese Club will be the first to try out some of these cultural activities, including furoshiki (Japanese cloth wrapping) and sadou (tea ceremony).
Wishing everyone a wonderful start to the term.
Ganbatte kudasai! (Let’s all try our very best!)
Kind regards,
The Japanese Faculty and the Japanese Club
