Thankyou to the parents who joined us (in the dark!!) for our annual Chinese Curriculum night last Tuesday. It was informative, enlightening and light hearted. Thankyou to Kath House for sharing her practice with us and helping us understand how young children acquire a second language in a classroom setting. Her passion and enthusiasm is always evident. Thankyou also to Joanna, Kath’s student teacher, who joined us as well.
Some parents asked for help to support Chinese at home. Below you will find listed the websites Kath shared with us.
