Ninja - Week 2

Our Interview

What an amazing interview this was!  There was so much information that was shared by the Sensei.  He was incredibly gracious in answering our questions and even showing us some examples of the type of martial arts that ninja would have used.  He was extremely knowledgeable and it was so neat to have the kids learn it straight from him.

He brought a well trained individual that was currently learning the Ninjustu martial art. The children are trying to push him over.

Children's Questions
Listed below are the questions that the children were able to ask the Ninja Sensei. I thought it would be fun to write down the responses from memory by the children instead of writing down what was exactly said.
