                                                            Video Conference

 

            We the students of DPS Indrapuram who learn Japanese Language were taken to the Japan Foundation on the 22nd of November for a video conference. The timing was from 9:30am to 12:00pm

            On reaching the Japan Foundation, we were welcomed by Mr. Panda and led into a room. There we were asked to take a seat. There was a projector and a web cam so that we could see ourselves and the children in Japan on the screen. Mr. Akira Yamaguchi, the Japanese Language advisor connected to the third grade children of Ono Minami Primary school in Fukouka in Japan.

            Initially, due to some technical problem we could not hear their vice, but latter the problem was taken care of. The children waved the flags of India and Japan and “Namaste” in Hindi was written on a chart. We were truly delighted to see that they introduced origami is the art of paper folding. They showed the model of an insect, a penguin and then we were asked to identify the model they had made whether it was a shark, a whale or a dolphin. Though our answer proved to be incorrect, we all liked their presentation. We were also asked to identify another of their model as whether it was a pencil, an eraser or a broom. This time, we got our answer right. They also told us about a game called jankenpon, exactly similar to “stone, paper and scissors” game that we play. They also sang a song for us this ended their presentation.

            We started our presentation by telling them about our Indian games like Pittu, Kho-Kho, Posampa and Gilli Danda. When we ended our presentation, we clapped for each other and thanking and bidding farewell to the children of Ono Minami, Mr. Akira and Mr. Panda, we came back to school. This was an excellent experience I would like to thank Principal ma’am and Anju ma’am and do it sometime again.
