Year 8 Japanese - Ikebana, Cooking and Self Introduction
Ikebana is the Japanese art of Flower Arranging. It is not only beautiful for the viewer, but can also be very calming and meditative for the artist. Like many art forms, there are different styles, Okenobo, Ohara and Sogetsu, to name a few.

Year 8 Japanese learnt about the art form as part of their 'House' unit of work and participated in designing their own Ikebana. I am sure you will agree, the girls did a great job on their first attempt. Well done to the girls whose arrangements captured a real Japanese essence.
The students started the term doing Project Based Learning, where they put together self introductions in presentations, using short Japanese phrases. This gave them an opportunity to share information about themselves and develop their language skills.
The Cooking Challenge has also continued throughout the term. Well done to the girls who have all presented their food in the second round.
