They have particularly enjoyed singing and reciting the Months of the Year and Days of the Week. Through engaging games and interactive activities, students are building confidence and having fun while developing their Chinese language skills.

Students have been revisiting greetings, number counting, colours, Australian currency and transport in Mandarin. They enjoyed performing role-plays as customers and shopkeepers, using vocabulary and sentence structures they have learned to purchase goods and talk about Australian currency in Mandarin. These engaging activities helped students build confidence in speaking and listening skills while applying their learning in real-life contexts.
