NIHONGO (JAPANESE) NEWS
Hi, my name is Amy Fulwood and I am the Japanese teacher at Freshwater State School. I teach students from Prep to Year 6 Japanese and our lessons are packed full of language and culture. I really enjoy sharing my love of Japan and its language with the students. I started learning Japanese in high school here in Cairns and have loved it ever since. I’ve been to Japan many times over the years but my favourite trips have been when I have taken my own family over with me. It makes me feel happy when students call out “konnichiwa” or tell me about their connection to Japan. It’s amazing how many families have been to Japan recently or a planning to go soon! Japanese Club each week on a Thursday and Friday is the highlight of my week.
Please see below the list of units being covered in Semester 1:
Prep - A Package from Japan
Year 1 & 2 - Who am I?
Year 3 & 4 - Amazing Places
Year 5 & 6 - What is in a name?
I hope you and your students have a fabulous 2025.
