Our Chinese New Year Song

22/01/2009 (Thursday)


a) Our Chinese New Year Song
We listened to the Chinese New Year song of Chinese version.
Then, the kids interpreted what they heard.
Cymbals make the sound of ding ding ding ding dang.
Drums made the sound of tong tong tong tong chiang.
Fire works made the sound of ping ping ping ping pang.
Then, we tried singing the song in English.
It’s funny but they like the chorus bestJ

b) Dragon Dance Training
The kids got back into their groups. Some wqnted to change positions. So, we swapped around to give everyone a chance to play dragon, cymbals and also the drum.
We did it without Mr. Hoo as he was busy today. However, the kids were quite independent. Again, the challenging part was making the wave part.
We even did bowing to the audience; which were their friends.

c) Discussion
We talked about the purpose of our hardwork training.
The kids wanted to perform together with the Lion Dance when school reopens on 2nd February. It was Ze Yan’s suggestion.
Eugene even suggested that we do this at year end on our graduation performance. Wow…..sounds great but lots of hard work.
We also thought that we should perform to our schoolmates on the last day of Chinese New Year. Hopefully, we can do it together with our TV card.
