On Thursday the 18th of January 2018 it was Chinese New Year. We had 2 activities – we were split up into 2 groups – primary 1/2/3/4 and primary 5/6/7. At first the primary 5/6/7 group went downstairs to Mrs Daly’s classroom. We got to learn how to count to ten in Mandarin Chinese .
This is a list of Mandarin from 1 to 8 :-
- 一 yī …
- 二 èr. …
- 三 sān. …
- 四 sì …
- 五 wǔ …
- 六 liù …
- 七 qī …
- 八 bā
After that the primary 5/6/7 group came back upstairs to learn some more about China and their wonderful traditions.
We also learned what animal we are on the Chinese calendar. I am a pig, Flynn is a dog, Livi is a rat, Lewis is a rooster, Miss Stewart a horse and Katie is a pig. Why don’t you try to find out what you are?

On Tuesday we had an assembly about the Stretch Zone. Mrs Pearce explained that you don’t want to be too comfortable or too stressed, you just want to be in the middle and that’s called the Stretch Zone.
