China Week!

This week we were very busy because it was China week! In Numeracy we learnt how to count to 20 in Mandarin. We also had a go at counting backwards too which was a little more tricky! We had a go at some addition and subtraction calculations using Chinese numbers as well as some word problems with Chinese numbers. We also looked at special shape patterns called Tangrams. We had to use the shapes to copy some patterns. Take a look at the pictures and see if you can guess what the pattern is of.

In Literacy we listened to some stories told by a special Chinese storyteller called Tony. We learnt how to write our names in Chinese as well as write a Chinese factfile about ourselves.

In P.E we learnt a traditional Chinese martial art called Tai-Chi.

We had great fun and learnt a lot about China and the Chinese way of life.
