From Japan, over Zoom, they challenged the kids to an animal quiz where they had to guess animals based on the sound they make.
They also sang the Japanese equivalent of Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes.
Luckily for locals this was not just a one off.
If you would like to get involved, further Story Time sessions with Sannohe will also take place on: July 21; October 20; November 17; December 22; and March 15, 2024.
