Team 5 w/b 12.2.18

Date: 16th Feb 2018 @ 2:38pm

This week was a 非常好 week in Team 5!  On Thursday we shared all of our Home Learning work.  As usual, there was some incredible work, ranging from poems about friendship to fact files about the solar system. 

On Friday, Team 5 presented our assembly all about Chinese New Year.  We taught the school how to say ‘Happy New Year!’ in both Cantonese (‘Kung Hey Fat Choi’) and Mandarin (‘Xin Nian Kuai Le’).  We worked out which of the Chinese Zodiac animals we were (Rat and Pig in Team 5 – Mr Thomas was delighted to find out he wasn’t the only Pig in the room!).

For the rest of the day, we applied our DT skills to making jianzi, a traditional Chinese feathered shuttlecock that Chinese people play ‘keepy-uppy’ with in parks all over China.  We haven’t quite finished so are looking forward to trying them out after half term!

The next Mouse Mania will be games/electronics from home.

Have a wonderful half-term!

Mr Thomas, Miss Morris and all of Team 5

P.S. 非常好 means ‘FeiChangHao’ or ‘very good ‘!
