BELMONT PRIMARY SCHOOL

At Belmont Primary School we offer an enriching Japanese program from Pre-Primary to 6 delivered by a specialist Japanese teacher. This provides students with the opportunity to develop a love of the Japanese language and culture in turn creating a foundation for future language learning.

 

Students will engage in Western Australian Curriculum-based Japanese language tasks to develop their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in Japanese Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. Additionally, students can use their learnt language to describe themselves and their personal world practising skills such as problem-solving, communication and cooperation. All lessons are presented using a variety of teacher-led and peer activities, crafts, and interactive games. Students demonstrate their understanding of Japanese by giving presentations, role-playing, and completing written tasks.

 

Additionally, at Belmont we have many opportunities to experience Japanese culture, such as Japanese sushi making, origami lessons, songs, festival-related crafts, and traditional calligraphy.
