JAPAN WEEK SUMMARY 

During the rest of Japan week, we celebrated the rich culture of Japan with an array of exciting activities. The rest of the festivities kicked off with the creation of Ninja Stress Balls, where students learned the art of relaxation while shaping the iconic symbols of the Japanese ninja. The Basketball knock out game showcased their athletic prowess, fostering healthy competition and encouraging sportsmanship among the participants. Another engaging activity was the Newspaper Towers challenge, where students showcased their engineering skills by constructing tall and sturdy towers using only newspapers.

The cultural aspect of Japan week was not forgotten, as students gathered to watch the heartwarming animated movie, "Big Hero 6," which brought smiles and laughter to everyone. They also enjoyed the traditional Japanese game of Keidoro (Cops and Robbers), experiencing a taste of Japanese playground fun. The students' artistic talents shone during the Cherry Blossom art workshop, where they delicately crafted beautiful blossoms in honor of Japan's iconic sakura.

The Cooking Club indulged in the art of Japanese cuisine by making Matcha Cookies, mastering the art of incorporating the distinctive matcha flavor into delectable treats. And of course, the celebration wouldn't have been complete without savoring delicious Japanese dishes like sushi, tofu nuggets, gyozas, and yakimeshi (rice), allowing everyone to experience the delightful flavors of Japan. The Japan week was an unforgettable journey into Japanese culture, fostering appreciation and understanding among the students while having a whole lot of fun.
