Chinese

Message from:
Jiang Yingying
Head of Primary Chinese

Most parents may have recognised that the Primary Chinese Site is a students' learning platform for K1 to G5 students. Learning materials such as curriculum, unit booklets and other materials have been uploaded there to support students' learning. There are some discussions and other activities for older students, too. However, some parents have had problems accessing the site by using the link in our school website. After consulting the IT support in school, we would like to send the direct link to you for the parents in the infant school to access the site.

Here is the link:

A reminder to parents who have children in the Infant School and Grade 2. 

Please make sure you inform the class teacher in writing if your son/daughter is going to the morning performance of the Grade 2 Arts Festival 'Around the World in 80 Days' on Thursday 12 March.  The performance  begins at 10:15am so  any Infant child who is  attending will need to have his/her snack early and we are collating a list so that these children can be collected from their classrooms and supervised. Please inform the class teacher on Monday, if you haven't done so already.

Arts Festival - Wednesday 25 March 6:00pm RBT

A letter was sent home last week asking for ticket requests for our Arts Festival, ‘Once Upon a Time’. Please send your returns in by the requested date. Tickets will be allocated, and we will then try to accommodate the requests for extra tickets.

Our rehearsals are going very well and the children are already so excited about the show. Some are even asking, ‘Is it tomorrow?’ Each class will be telling a traditional tale, as detailed below (the order of performance has not been decided upon):

K2JiS
Hansel and Gretel

K2ZBr
The Pied Piper of Hamelin

K2SMH
Little Red Riding Hood

K2HWe
The Little Red Hen

We are getting the children involved in the whole process of putting on a performance from the invitations and tickets, to the characters, words, props, costumes, songs, music and movements.

During this period of rehearsals, our daily timetables need to have a degree of flexibility to allow us to fit in scheduled practices in the RBT and Music lessons, as well as impromptu ones in our classrooms.

Parent helper schedules may be disrupted as a result. We really appreciate your understanding.
