United Nations Day
Konnichiwa!
Today we have been celebrating United Nation Day. United Nations Day marks the birthday of our founding Charter – the landmark document that embodies the hopes, dreams and aspirations of “we the peoples”.
On United Nations Day, let us reaffirm our commitment.
To repair broken trust.
To heal our planet.
To leave no one behind.
To uphold dignity for one and all, as united nations.
In Year 2 we have been learning about Japan. We have learnt lots of interesting facts including;
- Japan's capital city is Tokyo
- They have lots of yummy food such a Sushi and Sashimi!
- It is the home of the beautiful, dormant volcano Mount Fuji
- Their national sport is Sumo Wrestling
The children have had a fantastic day immersing themselves in Japenese culture by listening to Japenese music, researching the country, learning key phrases, learning how to write some words and numbers, and creating origami cats and Japenese dolls.
The children will be demonstrating their understanding, and continuing their research into Japan through their homework over half term. We hope they come home eager to tell you all the interesting facts they have learnt!
