The kimono is the national dress of Japan. Traditionally made of silk, it is a beautiful, long dress with wide sleeves. This resource enables children to design their own kimono using Japanese patterned paper and a collage technique. Children need to cut or tear the patterned papers and then glue them onto the kimono template.Once dry the kimono can be cut out and displayed. This is a fun and engaging activity that produces individual and creative results. This resource has been used with children aged 4 -7 but could be suitable for other age groups too.

his is a variation of the ‘3 Hint Game’. Students are divided into teams of 6. The teacher gives 3 hints about a room/space in a house, and students in their teams guess which room it is. They write their guess on a sheet of paper and hold it up. (Students can check the writing cooperatively, or take turns to do the writing.) The teacher may put a time limit on this process. The team, or teams, who gave the correct answer mark the room by sticking their coloured paper marker on the picture on the game sheet. The team that finishes with the most markers on the game sheet wins.

This resource is a case study of the 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami that struck the area of Sendai and Japan. The magnitude 9 earthquake could be felt over a large area, and triggered a 40ft Tsunami wave. Due to Japan being a HIC/MEDC/ Developed country the country was well prepared for the event and amazingly only 15000 people died. However the quake caused many other significant economic and environmental problems. This resource uses a BBC News article from the day that is linked from the worksheet. Pupils respond to the video and answer various factual questions and are asked to summarise the events of the day with a tweet. This is a good resource for a cover lesson, home learning, or introduction to the event.
