Ni Hao - Chinese Language Week 2016

Check out the gallery of photos showing a group of our Year 5 and Year 6 students working on their Chinese word posters to share with the school.Each of the students chose a word that had special significance. They wrote the word in Chinese characters along with some images to show the meaning. I was so impressed by their knowledge of this ancient and beautiful writing system.  I have a new appreciation on the challenge our students face in keeping a heritage or home language such as Chinese, as well as learning in another language - English. Congratulations and thank you for all for your efforts this week Erica, Rebecca, Jessica, Cindy, Bonnie, Mia, Jack, Lucas, Ivan, Jeff, Mark and Henry. Look out for the finished product in the library.
