Mr Shin, a Japanese Professional picture book reader, visited Orewa College last week and worked with a Year 7, Year 8 and a Year 10 class. Mr Shin communicated with the students in Japanese and English with the use of picture books. Mr Shin and his daughter also performed the martial art Shorinji Kempo. The students gained confidence in the Japanese they had been taught in the class. We appreciate the time and effort Mr Shin and his group shared with us.
