Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Yesterday we celebrated Lunar New Year! We read a book called 'Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas', which has the same story line as 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' but teaches us about Chinese New Year traditions. We learned that the colour red and the number 7 are lucky in their culture. Also, red envelopes with money in them are given to the family members to promote good wealth. Instead of Goldilocks eating porridge (oats) she is eating Congee, which is a type of rice porridge. 

We made red banners with Chinese characters meaning 'longlife', 'peace', and 'good luck'. With that, we found a great opportunity to capture a class photo, dressed in red! 

Ms. M. and Ms. Brown were very luck to receive red envelopes. Thanks S! :)

During Math, Ms. Q. came in and taught us how to write characters in Cantanese, while one of our students stood up and demonstrated a couple of samples of Mandarin characters. 

We are lucky because our school is celebrating Lunar New Year on Monday as well! Stay tuned for a few more pictures of what we did!
