Some hiragana learning websites

Year 4 are currently learning all 46 characters in the hiragana 'alphabet'. 
Year 5 and 6 should also use these websites for revision and reinforcement.

This website allows you to play a game to see how many hiragana you know.

This website also has an iphone app that you can download to practise hiragana 'on the go'! An excellent site for Year 4 as they can select the rows of hiragana that we have learnt so far.

This site has hiragana practice for each row of hiragana, and you can see the stroke order and hear the sound of each character. Fantastic!

Kids Web Japan has a hiragana chart that you can click on each hiragana to hear it's pronunciation. Kids Web Japan also has HEAPS of information about Japan and lots of fun stuff for kids!

Tofugu.com is a wacky website about everything Japanese. It has lots of interesting information about Japanese culture, and lots of hints and ideas for learning Japanese.

Face parts in Indonesian

Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 are learning the parts of the body in Indonesian.

They have learnt the names for the parts of the face, and they will soon be able to name most body parts in Indonesian!

Year 1 happily posed for these 'parts of the face' photos.

Test yourself at home!
