Hello Mummies and Daddies!
Happy advanced Lunar New Year! As the festive season draws nearer, our N2 children spent most of the circle time the past 2 weeks listening to various New Year songs and learning how to say New Year greetings like: Gong Xi Fa Cai, Xin Nian Quai Le. They also learnt about the different cultural dance often seen during the New Year such as Lion Dance and Dragon Dance.
Besides that, Rong Lau Shi have been engaging them in doing interesting Chinese New Year craft work. We would let them bring home the New Year decorations on Friday. You may support them by hanging their decorations around the house!
Look at the children at work!
Everyone wants to try being the "Lion"!
Can you guess who is pretending to be the lion?

By the way, some parents was asking me about the "Healthy Food song". Here is the link for the song - adapted from the Fast Food Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCPSh47gHz8 We have changed the lyrics of the song a little by substituting the words:
- 'Pizza Hut' to 'Vegetables'
- 'Kentucky fried chicken' to 'Red Apple'
- 'Macdonald' to 'Fishy Fish'
All these food items and the dance actions for each item are chosen by the N2 children. You may try to get them to dance for you at home!

Before I pen off, let me wish all parents and families, a very happy Lunar New Year! May it be filled with plenty of love, luck, good health and prosperity! For all families who will be going abroad during the festive season, have a fun and enjoyable trip! ((:
Love,
