Big Test

Today we had "Big Revision Test No.2", though beforehand we wizzed through some new kanji.

近 (near, recent), 遠 (far, remote), 速 (speedy), 遅 (slow, late), 道 (way, street), 青 (blue), 晴 (fine, clear up), 静 (silent, still), 寺 (temple), 持 (hold), 荷 (load), 歌 (song). Kanji count: 157.

After not taking any of those in we then had a A3 page of listening exercises followed by a four A3 pages of writing exercises. I only just finished before lunch.

We had Seb's lesson in the afternoon for the first time in three weeks. We looked at the Sengoku Period (Warring States period) which was basically 150 years of all out, free-for-all war in Japan.

I taught at Linden Hall again in the afternoon, with Binks. We had the kids make Christmas cards, which kept them quiet. They seemed to enjoy it as well, and they all drew really nice Christmas pictures on the front.
