SOLE – Investigating Children’s Day around the world

This week we are going to do our last SOLE session.  Today’s question is:

Find out which countries (including Japan) celebrate Children’s Day, and what kind of things do they do to celebrate?

Try to find at least 3 countries and decide which one you like best as a group.

Remember some of the criteria for celebrating in a different culture would be:

  • food
  • clothes
  • music
  • activities
  • beliefs? and why they have decided to celebrate this day in their country?

Start with this website: JAPAN and other countries celebrating Children’s Day. 

REMEMBER THE RULES OF SOLE –

  • groupwork – use each person’s strengths and allocate jobs at the start
  • 45 mins to investigate and create a poster to share what you have found out
  • 15 mins to finish off your poster and practise your sharing
  • Group sharing.

Have fun!  🙂

 

MAKERSPACE – JAPANESE CHILDREN’S DAY – CRAFTS

You worked really well at all the different activities on offer on Friday. Origami is a very traditional Japanese craft and your Samurai helmets looked great. The carp flags to fly at your house to show how many boys are in your family on Kodomohi looked great. The dolls also looked very colourful. Some people still have to finish some of their crafts, but here you can see how good they looked. Well done, people! Mrs Veary 🙂
