Learning mandarin with Ella



This is Ella. She is teaching us mandarin. In this picture she is telling us about the Chinese New Year Festival. Here are some of the things we learnt:-
Chinese people put special red pictures on the wall and around the door frame. Michael and Cooper
Red is a lucky colour. Benji
The adults put money in a little red envelope and give it to the children. Kyla
The festival is in Spring. Jesse
They have special lanterns. Sometimes you can put lollies in them. Zack
Sometimes when there is Chinese New Year there is fireworks in the air. Charlotte
Chinese people say "Happy New Year"



Ella has taught us how to say many words in mandarin like hello, thank you, goodbye, and panda.
