Kaetsu Ariake Senior School from Japan visit to Landmark International School
On May 16th 31 year 12 students from Kaetsu Ariake Senior School came to Landmark for an afternoon of cultural exchange with Landmark International School’s year 9 and 10 students.
The afternoon was a great opportunity to share cultures and make connections. Our global student body had the opportunity to learn about Japanese culture from the Kaetsu students who ran a range of different cultural activities including Origami, Koma, Japan quiz, Shodo, Fukuwarai and Paper sumo. During these activities the students shared the British cultural delight of scones, which initiated a little debate on clotted cream and Jam ettiquette!
Landmark students then led the Kaetsu students on a walk through the beautiful English spring countryside to the local recreational grounds where the students mixed groups to play games of cricket, rounders and ultimate frisbee led by the Landmark students.
After fun in the park the students walked back through the traditional English village of Fulbourn and back to Landmark school for goodbyes and photos.
In was a fantastic experience to have Kaetsu visit us. We hope that they had a wonderful stay in the UK and a safe journey back to Japan. We look forward to potentially building on this partnership in the future.
