The activites start with a Japanese woman told us the meaning of the Festival. It is to pray for good health of the children. Normally this festival held on 15th November every year as from the age 3+5+7=15. The celebration was big in Japan but here in Malaysia quite new to us. Nevertheless, since it involve my 5 Little Angels, I hope they'll grow up healthily and happily...
After that all the children were taught to speak basic Japanese greetings with the words too. There are around 6 groups that consist of 5 kids each and when the tutor put a sentence there, all kids had to form a group with the word given. "Arigatou" means thank you, "Konichiwa" means hello and "Sayonara" means good bye. Thats what me and my little Angels had learned from there.
