"Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write and count. It is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace that is right for each individual child. Earlier is not better" Magda Gerber

Playing with Words
Today a small group of us were playing with "ing" and "y" words. We were pretty proud of the way we could make new words. Take a look.
Lunar New Year
Today is Chinese New Year. Many of us wore the colour red to school in honour of the celebration. In the afternoon we learned a bit more about the Chinese New Year including which animal year we were born in. We also had a special sheep craft that was prepared by our wonderful parent group. We were also really lucky to have a Chinese Lion Dance performance in our gym. We ended the day with special lucky money in red envelopes, which happened to be a chocolate coin. Gung Hey Fat Choi everyone!

One of our classmates family runs a day care and they have a brand new 20 passenger bus. Some of us went on it.
