Gung Hay Fat Choy! We have been discussing Chinese New Year and celebrating the year of the Rooster. We talked about when it begins and how it is celebrated. We made crafts associated with the holiday decorating roosters, lanterns, chopstick frames and traditional hats. We also dressed up in traditional clothing and participated in a fun Dragon dance throughout the centre.

Our French teacher Cheeba works with the children using music, songs, and creative movement with props and special techniques. Cheeba’s curriculum teaches the children conversational French with self-expression, family vocabulary and human anatomy. Children learn to express their emotions with both English and French vocabulary and build on their empathy, which supports their social and problem solving skills. As proud Canadians, we are learning the National anthem en francais along with familiar places in our beautiful country.
