Saturday Craft Room Panda (Xiong Mao) Group session 1

Today we had Emily, Rohan and Sarah in our group. I think we had a wonderful class. The theme today was ‘birthday’. Although the words were new and some of them were long, the children all made their efforts to acquire them well. After the revision of the flash cards, I showed them the toy cake and asked ‘what is this’. Both Emily and Sarah answered ‘sheng ri dan gao’ perfectly. Good job! In the craft time we made birthday cards together. All of the children were very creative. They made lovely cards with various decorations.

Natalie, Bella, Xiao Hui and Matthew joined our group today. What a lovely group we had!  We practiced the new words about birthday. Natalie and Matthew did a really good job by saying ‘li wu (present)’, ‘La zhu (candle)’ and ‘Sheng ri dan gao (birthday cake)’ correctly and clearly. Xiao Hui and Bella could also pronounce many of the new words. Excellent!  Children all found making birthday card very interesting. We even tried writing the characters ‘生日快乐（Sheng Ri Kuai Le, Happy birthday)’. Xiao hui especially enjoyed it a lot. With all the pictures and little stars, the cards we made were so nice and lovely.

Let’s all be Mandarin stars!

Xie Xie! See you next week!
