Numeracy Fun – Mandarin and Marshmallows!

We enjoyed our Mandarin lesson today. We learned how to count up to ten in Mandarin with Ms Che. She then taught us how to use chopsticks and used them to count out pasta. It was quite tricky but lots of fun!

In numeracy, we have been learning about estimating. Jenson brought in some mini marshmallows to give us a group challenge. We split into two teams to see who could get the closest estimate. Well done to the winning team!

Singing in Mandarin

Mandarin with Miss Zhang

This term we have begun to learn Mandarin with Miss Zhang. She also teaches us about China. Here are some facts we have learned:

  • China has a population of 1.3 billion people
  • An average school in China has 3,500 people in it
  • In school in China you have to stand up to ask a question
  • There are over 50 different Chinese languages

We are looking forward to learning to do some writing next week!
