The Grade Ones participated in our school Olympics last Friday. We represented Japan and learned a little bit about the Japanese language and culture. They learned that "konnichiwa" is "hello" and "arigato" is "thank-you" in Japanese. They saw a sumo wrestler, kimonos, made fans and drank some tea (iced-tea).
Though we loved learning about Japan and waving their flag, we were overjoyed and cheered our hearts out, when the class that represented Canada came into the gym!
After the opening ceremonies, we went outside and worked hard at bobsledding, the luge, ice hockey and many other Olympic events. It was super fun day being an Olympian!
Here is a link to a wiki we used to learn about Japan.
