Minoh House Trip

Last week we took a trip down to the Japanese Minoh House here in Normandale.


Minoh City and Lower Hutt City are 'sister cities' which formed a relationship in 1995. The house was developed by both cities and provides a focal point for the close relationship that the Wellington region has with Japan.

This was a truly wonderful opportunity for our students to experience authentic Japanese culture right on our doorstep! What a great day we had, thank you to Ikumi for your time and efforts, an experience we will remember :) 


Also, a huge, huge thank you to our parent helpers, was so wonderful to have you all come along and share in the fun!


Check out the photos of us learning to sing 'twinkle twinkle little star' in Japanese, using chopsticks and making an origami samurai hat!
