The SUPER Thirty 4’s were fortunate enough to have three Japanese students from Palmerston North's IPC, to share with us their knowledge on Sakura – Cherry Blossoms Festival and the celebrations which happen during this colourful Spring season.
Our students, Yukino, Rumi and Ayaka showed us how to draw the symbol of Sakura with Indian ink – known as Calligraphy, and experiment with making ‘origami’ chatter boxes and the ‘Crane bird’.
The national flower of Japan is known as Sakura.
As we found out, during the Japanese spring, there is an explosion of colour and festivities with the arrival of the cherry blossoms, Known locally as "Sakura". Sakura is the national flower of Japan and its cherry blossoms have attracted the hearts of the Japanese people for many centuries.

Origami (折り紙? ) comes from ‘ori’ meaning “folding”, and kami meaning “paper”. ‘Kami’ changes to ‘gami’ due to ‘rendaku’ which is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding.
The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.
We had a wonderful time with our Students. While we were enjoying our new learning, we were also showing how we can participate, contribute and relate to others - these happen to be our KC's which we are learning about.
