GUNG HAY FAT CHOY TO EVERYONE!!
Wishing you a happy new year from China!! Today is the Chinese New Year! This week we have had so much fun in China! We learned how to use chopsticks and we ate popcorn and rice (see pictures below!) Chopsticks were hard to eat with because if you had soya sauce, you couldn't even pick it up it was so slippery! We had to hold the plate up to our mouth and then use the chopstick to shovel it in!!!
We also used the iPads to search about the Great Wall of China and we took a tour of the Great Wall (it's HUGE - it is longer than Canada is coast to coast but the wall isn't straight, it's all curvy and goes up mountains). Yesterday we made our paper dragons for our Chinese New Year parade. We also ate fortune cookies today to celebrate and got our fortunes!

This is us using the iPads while looking for information about the Great Wall of China!
In math, we used place value blocks to build our names. We are going to calculate what our names are worth next week!!!
Did you get our postcards? We wanted to let you know that we are staying in China for a few MORE days because we still have a whole bunch of other things to do!!
It looks like everyone had a fabulous time in China! So glad everyone had fun celebrating Chinese New Year and made it back safe and sound!
