We have begun learning how to write hiragana characters. Last week and this week are a focus on A and KA set. You may take your Japanese exercise book (10mm graph book) home to practise your characters BUT you must bring it back each day. Alternatively just use scrap paper and keep your exercise book at school to use in DriveTime and Japanese lessons. Remember to look carefully at the stroke order before attempting to write out the character without looking.

There will be a writing test on Friday on A and KA set.
Confident level 2 students must choose 5 words to learn from the Googlesheet dictionary I shared with you. You will test each other.
