Mandarin Bulletins Updated
Dear all,
Each grade is learning a story related to Christmas. Every student has received a story booklet.
Gr.4- The story of the New-born King
Gr.5- The story of the Savior’s Birth
Gr.6- Celebrate a more meaningful Christmas
Gr.7- Keep Christ in Christmas
The student has created a cover page for their own booklet about the story with labels of Chinese words or phrases learned in this story. Below are two pictures demonstrating students’ creative and artistic talents. You are welcome to come for a visit. Thank you!
PS. Whoever has not handed it in yet today, please try your best to finish tonight and bring your cover page to my office tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to seeing you.
Wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

中秋節/节 Round Party in Mandarin class
Dear students and parents,
Below are the pictures taken in Mandarin class for the Moon Festival celebration.
The Moon Festival is another big event for Chinese people. It’s just like the western Thanksgiving Day. Today in Mandarin class, the students are very happy and excited about the first party they have in the new school year.
They enjoyed round fruits and round snacks since “round” is the symbolization of reunion and happiness. Hopefully your family will also have a good time together.
I am very glad to share the following fantastic pictures with you all.
Cheers,

Gr.4 Annual Calligraphy Presentation, 2015
Dear students,
Our annual calligraphy practice has ended. I was very glad you enjoyed the cultural lessons and paid much attention in class. Even though this is the first year for you to practice the calligraphy Chinese, You did your best to experience the difference between writing with a pencil and a brush. I know some of you haven’t use the brush pen ever, and so this is the first time and it’s very challenging to write Chinese characters with a brush and ink. I hope you all enjoy the practice.
Time is flying and one week has past. On Friday, the last day we quickly reviewed what you have done and presented your great work. Below are some pictures taken while presenting. See you next year at R301 for Calligraphy practice.
Dear parents,
You are going to see some great work posted on the bulletin boards, in the hallway or on the wall of the gym in the following week. Welcome to the school for a visit. Your great support are greatly appreciated it.

Gr.7 Annual Calligraphy Presentation, 2015
Dear students,
Our annual calligraphy practice has ended. I was happy for you that many of you could tell the difference between the writing using a pencil and a brush . After a couple years of practice, you understand the way to show the beauty and characteristics of calligraphy Chinese. You realize the importance to measure the space you have on the paper, and to keep all characters in the same size no matter how many strokes each character has.
This is the last year at SFX, but I really hope you can keep the interest and find some time to practice continuously. I enjoy writing Calligraphy because it helps me to practice patience and maintain in a peaceful mood. I hope you will also find some happiness while writing calligraphy.

Gr.4-7 on Pajamas Day- “Pajamas”中文怎麼說呢？
Dear students,
We have learned two terms on Thursday in the beginning of the class. They are “pajamas and robe”.
Do you remember how to say them in Mandarin?
They are 睡衣shuì yī and 睡袍 shuì páo。
睡袍也可以是“浴袍 yù páo” especially when you wear it before or after taking a shower.
please view who wore pajamas, and who wore robe on the Pajamas Day?
You are encouraged to speak in Mandarin at home when you need to know where is your pajamas or when you are looking for them?
The sentences could be:
媽媽，請問我的”睡衣”在哪裡？ May I know/ask where is my pajamas?
（Mā ma, qǐng wèn wǒ de “shuì yī” zài nǎ lǐ?)
媽媽，你有沒有看到我的”浴袍”？ Mom, did you see my robe?
（Nǐ yǒu méi yǒu kàn dào wǒ de “yù páo”?)
Let’s practice 🙂
