Happy Belated Chinese New Year!

We made simple but cute chinese lanterns.  On the top we wrote the symbol for happiness, 

and on the bottom we wrote our names and pictures of things that make us happy.  

We learned from Miss Jin that Red symbolises luck and Green symbolises healing.

Our visitor from Shanghai, China - Miss Jin

Miss Jin is here with us for a week until Thursday.  She comes from Shanghai, China and is training to be a teacher.  She's just lovely and we adore her!

Miss Jin has been showing Room 9 how to write the chinese symbol for Happiness.  We have made chinese lanterns to celebrate Chinese New Year with this symbol.

Here's Miss Jin helping us practice how to write the symbol for Happiness.
