Fun in Chinese class

Miss Gardiner —

Term three has been a busy term for students learning Chinese.

In Term Three, 174 students from junior and secondary students entered the 9th New Zealand Chinese Calligraphy Competition in the hard pen and soft brush divisions.

Term 3 week 10, We had Chinese Language Week and Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration. To celebrate the festival, a group of Chinese students performed “Chinese dance and Chinese singing” at Chinese Garden to local community.

At school, Chinese martial arts and Chinese dancing workshops were organised and followed with mooncake eating to celebrate the big festival at school. Mr Haibin Jiang a martial arts master and Ms Yujia Song a professional dancer, travelled down from Christchurch.
