Japan earthquake

On Friday 11th March 2011 there was a huge earthquake in Japan which then caused a tsunami killing lots of people. These events have also caused damage to the nuclear power plants in the area, which is very frightning and dangerous for everyone in Japan.

In Japan there has been a tsunami and earthquake and it has been terrible over 1000 people have died. In the tsunami this lady opened her house door and she got dragged by the water a tree was coming to her and she tried to grab on to it so she didn't go under but she got dragged under. Then something El's came to her so she grabbed it and sat there waiting for someone to help. She has a daughter who got pulled away from the water and she still hasn't found her.

Learning Chinese in Room 6 - Mr Reid

For the last three weeks I have been introducing Mandarin Chinese into our classroom.  We have been learning how to say 'hello, how are you?', 'thank you', and count from 1-10.  The important part of this that has been introduced this week is the tones.  The students goal for the next week is to say 'hello' and 'thank you' at school.

See this website for an explanation of the tones
