On the last Wednesday of the school year, Japan Club held the 5th annual Teriaki trip. Yes, this tradition has lasted 5 years so far! It was also a chance to say goodbye to our responsible year 11s. The original members who had stuck with Japan club and kept it together, which, for me was quite sad as we had all become like family especially after our amazing trip. How will we cope without Sophie keeping everyone quiet? I just don't know.
We all left our lessons at 12:30 (apart from the Year 11s, who didn't have to go to school anyway) and got on the minibus. We got off in Cambridge and it was a beautiful day. Fortunately, we had most of the restaurant to our selves. Unfortunately there were no Japanese speaking waiters or waitresses serving on that day.
So, instead of just forgetting about ordering in Japanese altogether, we called out our own, mini, Japanese speaking waitress. Cue Asuka-Chan. We all helped each other to "order" the food. And magically, it arrived!
There was more food than a sumo wrestler could eat! And we ate it! Oishiiii!
Edamame, sushi, udon, yaki soba, dumplings, miso, rice, green tea, bean-sprouts, mochi and sooo much more.
After gifts, a group photo and lolly pops, we hopped back onto the boiling minibus feeling full and satisfied.
Thank you Mr Fehr, for using your own time to organise this trip. I know we all enjoyed it!
And again, thank you to all the year 11s for sticking with Japan Club throughout your time at Swavesey. It won't be the same without you and you will be missed.
Despite the lack of year 11s and Mr Fehr's important new status as head of maths (congrats!), Japan club will continue next year starting in October. More details to follow.
Thank you Mr Fehr, parents, teachers and everyone who supported Japan Club this year, whether you baked for and organised our parents evening fund raisers (thank you so much Mrs Adshead!!) or simply bought a cup of tea.
I hope to see everyone soon, have a good summer!
Emily :D
