Speech Competition for Year 5 & 6

The Year 5 & 6 children have been working very hard on the Mandarin speech this term. First, we wrote the script. The topics are about ourselves, such as our family, pets, our favourite food, colours, hobbies and sports, as well as the countries we want to visit. We then had our in-class competition and four children will be selected from each class to go to the final, which will be in week 8 on Monday 12th September at 9:15am. It was a very good experience for the students.

Mandarin class for teachers

'Ni hao!' 15 teachers are learning to speak Mandarin every Friday at lunchtime.
We experienced Chinese calligraphy today. We wrote Chinese numerals and the character 福 (fortune) using traditional brush and ink. Chinese calligraphy is the art of writing and it requires a relaxed mind and focus.
