Beau Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I used that story last year and it gave my daughter nightmares... - who'd have thought she was such a sensitive soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Sorry - I've missed a few posts here - Annette - did you find how the years got their names? 'coz I've just pulled out my text. If you (or anyone) hasn't managed to find it and would like it - I'll put it on here ... I've just found my copy but don't want to duplicate if not necessary. Is it 'gung hey fat choy? coz I have Kung hey fat choy? (doesn't particularly bother me as I can always blame it on speech problems ... but I've just told our Y5 teacher who's doing an assembly - based on my info!!!! ) Harricroft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Harricroft Both spellings are equally acceptable - it depends on which romanisation system was used when translating the phrase into English. Getting the correct pronounciation of the phrase might be tricky if you've no experience of the language, and it also depends which dialect you use too!

Guest Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 thanks for sorting that one out mousebat I think I'll go to the Chinese chippy on Friday for a quick pronunciation. Harricroft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 So glad I came back on to check this-I too thought it was this weekend! Same as Shelly-must have been looking at last years dates! I even read them the story yesterday and have put some lanterns up! How embarrassing! Oh well, we'll be on holiday on the 9th so I'll just top a few things to teach them about it over the next few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
