Mandarin in Primary 2

28th Apr 2026

Our Primary 2 pupils have been enjoying their Mandarin lessons with Mrs Ma this term.
They have been learning about Chinese New Year and heard the story of the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals.

They have learnt how to greet others using simple phrases such as saying hello and goodbye, and saying using “thank you”. The pupils have also begun to count in Mandarin, practising numbers through songs and games.

A big thank you to Mrs Ma for making Mandarin lessons so enjoyable.
