Welcome to Year 1 2020. This year we are going to focus on speaking Japanese, as well as some of the hiragana script, so that students can learn to read and write in addition to some spoken language. As always much will be introduced through songs, videos and keeping the classroom paper-free (as much as possible). The focus of Term One is the classroom. We will learn stationary items so that students can ask for, and receive items such as scissors, pencils and glue. There is a song that includes all of the items. Classroom language, such as well done, and do your best will also be taught. In Term Two students will learn to say a basic self introduction. Again a song will be used to introduce the key phrases. Since a self introduction varies from person to person, we will explore a variety of vocabulary related to likes and dislikes. In Term Three we will add adjectives, such as hot & cold, happy & sad, as well as some basic questions, so that students can ask and answer basic questions about themselves. The plan for Term Four is to 'visit a Japanese home'.

Song: Self Introduction Rap
This rap includes the simple sentences needed to introduce yourself. The last sentence is a typical Japanese phrase that is commonly used but not so easy to translate. By playing this rap frequently, students will learn the Japanese without even realising it! The meanings of the words are:
Nice to meet you. Hello. My name is Yuki (both a boy's and girl's name). I am seven years old. I am in Year 1. I like golf and soccer. I live in Redlynch. Thank you for looking after me.

Song: What's in my pencil case?
This song introduces the words for stationary items and finishes with the phrase 'wasurenaide ne' which means "Don't forget them". The items in order are: keshigomu (rubber), hasami (scissors), hon (book), pen (pen), nori (glue), nooto (notebook), joogi (ruler), fudebako (pencil case). The words are connected by the word to, which means 'and'.

Powerpoint: Asking for things
This powerpoint shows the stationary words we are learning, and then creates the short dialogue to ask for different things in Japanese. For example:
A. Sumimasen, keshigomu o kudasai.
Excuse me, (can I have a) rubber please
B. Hai, dōzo.
Yes, here you go
A. Arigatō.
Thanks
