Japanese
At Kidman Park Primary School we engage students in an enjoyable and varied Japanese program so that learning a second language is both fun and rewarding. Each Foundation/Year 1 class attends one x 45-minute Japanese lesson a week, and Year 2-7 classes attend two x 45 minute lessons per week. We cover a variety of topics throughout the year, making sure that each year builds upon the last, increasing the opportunity to remember and utilise prior learning.
Special events throughout the year, such as the Western Region 6/7 Hiragana Competition and Japanese Quiz Day, provide a creative outlet for students to challenge themselves and test their knowledge.We also provide opportunities for students to share their learning with others through in-school events such as the Cherry Blossom Picnic and Middle Years Japanese Matsuri (festival).
Our Japanese program is planned using the Australian Curriculum. Students complete various tasks each semester to demonstrate their ability to speak, listen to, read and write Japanese. In addition, a rich cultural programme, embedded in our learning plans, develops a deep understanding of Japan and it’s people. There is more information available here. The newly created Japanese garden will play a part in future learning plans – outdoor learning in our own little piece of Japan!
To find out more, please feel free to visit and talk with the Japanese teacher, Belinda Brenen, in the Japanese room, next to the staff room, any day from Monday – Friday.
