Mrs Geary  ( aka Robert’s mum) came in to visit us this morning.   She told us all about Chinese New Year.  It was amazing.  She taught us how to write “Happy New Year” in Mandarin  and we all got to try the chopsticks.  They were great fun! ( we loved them so much that we are using them to pick up the water beads in the tuff tray)

Mrs Geary told us all about why there are animals for every year.  We are mostly snakes and dragons in 1.4.    Mrs Hamilton knew her entire family!

Mrs Geary has given us all red envelopes and chopsticks to take home.  That was very kind of her.   We have learned so much today.  Thank you, Mrs Geary.
