HEADTEACHER’S MESSAGE
PRE-PREP
Mandarin and Chinese Studies
A great start to this term’s Mandarin and Chinese Studies after school group.
We practiced some Chinese calligraphy and how putting two different words in Mandarin together makes new words – such as how the word for fire 火 (pronounced “wharrr”) and the word for mountain 山 (pronounced “shannn”) combine to make the word for volcano 火山 “wharr Shannn”, a literal “fire mountain”.
We also had a look at the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, a large celebration throughout China that happens in late Spring/early Summer each year, and has done for well over 2000 years now.
Well done to all our pre prep linguists!
