Stories from other cultures

                                         Ponyo
Class 9 are watching a film called Ponyo in our stories from other cultures unit in literacy.
This film was from Japan. Some of the proof we found were the children were swapping shoes for slippers in school and they were cooking food with chopsticks.
Some of the messages we found were don’t pollute the sea, never give up on people and never mess with essences of life. TM & BW

  5. The population ofJapan is 127,560,000. In the film Ponyo the signs on the road were written in Japanese. At the ending of the film, i think Sosuke and his parents go underwater and live in Ponyo's underwater house.
