In Year 1, Term 3 we are learning about different types of shops. For example we have Okashiya- Lolly Shops, Boushi ya- Hat Shops, Hanaya- Florists, Kudamono ya- Fruit Shops, Obentou ya- Japanese Lunch Box Shops. This ties in with the first two terms' work on Shopping. Students are learning new adjectives to put with the nouns that they know e.g. Big hat= Ookii boushi. Students are learning to price their items and buy and sell them in their shops.
