The only primary school in the UK shortlisted for the Japan Foundation Awards has been awarded third prize, the Wiltshire Times reported on 2 April.
Children at Holbrook Primary School in southwest England accepted the award in recognition of their project on Japan, which includes learning the language, before giving a drama presentation to guests from the British Council, the Association of Language Learning and the Japan Foundation.
Head teacher Roger Whitewick said the children are planning to make 1,000 paper cranes to give to Hitachi, Ltd., which has an office in the town.
