The first school event of Japan 2001 was at Woodbridge School who held a week long event 2 - 11 May 2001. All sections of the school took part… Mrs King the Headteacher of the Pre-Preparatory department said: The week opened with a performance of taiko drumming by Mark Alcock and James Barrow. Pupils made carp streamers and fans, discovered the fascination and frustration of origami, learned about tea ceremony and how to write their names and count to twenty in Japanese!
