Cherry blossoms are considered a symbol of spring in Japan and when the trees are covered in beautiful pink blossoms, people gather together for picnics underneath them, in a tradition known as O Hanami (Cherry Blossom Viewing).
In this lesson, students will learn about the customs and activities associated with O Hanami and compose haiku poems using their own thoughts about spring and nature. The topic can also be used as a starting point for studying climate change and shifting seasons, as the cherry blossom season has arrived early in recent years.
Also included is an PDF Activity Pack which can be printed out and used by students independently or during extracurricular activities such as Japan club.
An editable version of the PPTs are available on request - contact education@japansociety.org.uk.
