Stroytelling time in Mandarin- "猪八戒吃西瓜"

2017年2月24日 星期五

Last Friday, G3 children have listened to a Chinese story which is from a classic master piece"xī yóu jì西游记" in China. The name of this story is "zhū bā jiè chī xī guā猪八戒吃西瓜" ( 猪八戒 ate watermelon), the story is written in Mandarin.

I was surprised that many children have known about some famous characters in this story, such as "sūn wù kõng孙悟空" and "zhū bā jiè猪八戒".

All children have enjoyed the story, and also have asked various questions about it.

Exploring at my school

This week Grade 2 kids start to learn how to use Mandarin to say some basic buildings or facilities at our school. In order to get the first and visual impressions to our school, Grade 2 kids decided to take an exploring tour at our campus during class time. They chose some places and took some individual master pieces!

In the following classes, they will learn how to say these places in Mandarin!

Celebrating Chinese New Year

As we are learning Mandarin, it is also important to know and understand some Chinese traditions customs. This year, the 7th Feb will be "除夕"(chú xī), on that day, all the Chinese will gather together with families or friends to welcome the new year. They paste Spring couplets and pictures on their gates and walls; They make dumplings and share with families and friends; send best wishes to each other. Children will get "红包"(hóng bāo)from parents and grandparents or elders. 

Today G5 children have experienced one of traditional Chinese customs---Chinese Paper cutting“中国剪纸”. I am impressed that most of children have enjoyed it and made effort. They followed the instructions on line step by step. At the end, we've got some different patterns based on one instruction.^__*  

BUT, IT IS ALL ABOUT PROCESS NOT THE PRODUCT!
