Teach me Tuesday- learning from two cultures!

It was Teach me Tuesday again today. What a success it was. 

To begin, Keita taught us how to say a few basic greetings and words in Japanese. He also taught us how to write these words in "hiragana" (japanese character writing system). We had a lot of fun copying the hiragana and saying the words. Thanks Keita!


Next, Neha taught us about a "Rangoli" which is a folk art from India in which patterns are created on the floor in living rooms or courtyards using materials such as coloured rice, dry flour or flower petals. 
It is usually made during Diwali or other Indian festivals. We made our Rangoli patterns on small pieces of card with coloured rice and glue.
We learnt heaps today about your cultures today Keita and Neha! Thanks for sharing with us.
