Rabbit Year 2011

Happy Chinese New Year to all the children, parents and friends. May this year bring you all good luck, happiness and good health.

Children in Year Four have been busily enjoying learning about the Chinese New Year. They watched a great animation that taught them how the twelve animals were chosen and the reason for their order. They learnt how to count in Mandarin and Cantonese as well as writing the Chinese number characters. They wrote animal names in Chinese using paint brushes. Also, they made finger dragons and created lovely blossom tree artwork.

At the end of the school day, the children were given fortune cookies to take home.

A lovely end to the day but a great start to a Chinese New Year.
