Welcome to Year Two!

This term we will be taking an exciting trip to Japan. We will be leanring about what it could be like to live in a lively city like Tokyo and how this would be different to living in Leamington. We will learn about the physical geography of Japan finding out about some of the important landmarks that we could visit such as Mount Fuji and the Japanese Alps. We will also learn about some elements of Japanese culture like the traditional past times of Shodo and the different festivals and celebrations that are held throughout the year.
