Mandarin

We have been enjoying Mandarin lessons this term and can now say ni hao hello and zài jiàn goodbye.

We lnvestigate some Chinese New Year traditions like giving even amounts of money in red envelopes 🧧.                                                                 During close reading tasks we discovered that eating noodles represents a long life and other names for Chinese New Year are the Spring Festival or Lunar New Year.  We explored some Chinese flowers markets and  watched the traditional dragon dance using the Virtual Reality headsets.
