We hope this folder will help you to practise your learning at home and you can be proud of your achievement! This Friday, 6 July, will be our last lesson for Friday Class. As a tradition, we will have a catch up lesson for students who missed out during the term and we'll have a party for the finish of the term.

21.01.2022 The adult class has started yesterday! We had an very enjoyable session with Ms Jia (Jasmine) presenting a deep knowledge of Chinese linquistic development and Chinese phonic system. For those who weren't able to participate yesterday for any reason, you are welcome to come along for the next class. The next class will be on Sunday 3:00-5:00pm, 18 March.... Don't worry that you have missed anything if you want to start from the next Term. We'll make a review of what have been taught this term at the beginning of the next term.

18.01.2022 Three Chinese classes were going on well this week. On Friday's children's class we have made final sentence structure to describe the weekly routines. Well done Friday class! On Sunday's Children Class both higher and lower level kids had a chance to read with their teacher and they showed great improevment and many achievements. Sunday's adult class has started their journey to the Chinese language world. Great adventures are waiting for them. If you have missed out on any of these classes, you may like to consider next term to give it a try. No classes next week due to the Easter holiday. The class will resume the week after (week 10).

11.01.2022 Happy Mother's Day. Thank you Lulu Laoshi!

10.01.2022 Copying is an effective way to learn Chinese word but it can be hard for student. A paper with a beautiful pattern can be more appealing for students to practise. (Work samples from Friday children class).

09.01.2022 This week, our Sunday children's class finished their review. They've made a significant improvement for their speaking and reading. Great achievement, Sunday Class! Friday children's class made a booklet for the summary of Term1. It will be very useful for students to do practice during the holiday. Well done Friday class! Adult class had a special lesson today. They attended a local Chinese Poetry event with Chinese communities and celebrities. They had an invaluable oppo...rtunity to interact with local Chinese, making their learning meaningful. Adult class will have one more lesson next Sunday. But both Friday and Sunday Children's class finished. Next term will start from 4th May. Information about Term2 will be released soon. : ,

02.01.2022 qing1 ming2 jie2 is a festival to remember and pay respect to deceased family members and ancestors. It reinforces the ethic of filial piety, and therefore become one of the eight major Chinese traditional festivals. ‘’qing1means "clear" or "pure" and ‘‘(ming2) means"bright". The festival is an occasion for the family to visit and sweep the graves of their forebears. It is also an opportunity for the family to enjoy early spring outside in the countryside, playing ...on swings, flying kites (to repel sickness), wearing willow leaves (to repel evil spirit), and eating (qing1 tuan2), a special rice flour delicacy for the season. Today I saw some students who thoroughly enjoyed the kite flying at the playground. I hope you too have had a good time. All classes resume this week. We’ll have Friday class 3.30-5.30, Sunday Children class 3.00-5.00, and Sunday adult class 3.00-5.00. See you at school.
