For the past 2 weeks, Room 10 has had a teacher come in before lunch to teach us some basic Mandarin.She has taught us to count to 10 in Mandarin, and we learned a little song to make it easier to practise our counting. We learned how to ask and answer how old we are, and spent some time practising this with a partner.
This week, we had a go at writing numbers in Mandarin using calligraphy brushes and thin paper. Some of us found this tricky, because we needed to use only a little bit of paint and sometimes forgot to do this! Others remembered to use only a little bit, so their work turned out neater and easier to read.
It was fun to have a go at an activity we haven't done before and we hope our parents liked seeing our finished work that we brought home!From Room 10.
Wow learning calligraphy - that sounds exciting! I'd love to see your numbers in Mandarin written with calligraphy brushes on thin paper. I bet it was tricky!
