Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 As it was the first day back after half term today, we combined the festivals of Shrove Tuesday and the Chinese New Year. After teaching the children how to say the Chinese 'Kung hai fat choy' greeting this morning, I suggested they surprised the dinner ladies by speaking Chinese. As the dinner ladies congregated I said, right everybody can you say Happy New Year in Chinese? They all shouted merrily in unison ...'Happy New Year in Chinese!!!'..The dinner ladies said I walked right into that one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 this made me chuckle The head teacher was doing an assembly on celebrating differences in children. She was saying who can speak another language- French, lots of hands, Italian a few hands. Then she said 'Chinese, I am not sure anyone here can speak Chinese can they". One of my kids pipped up " I can, Kung hey fat choy" Bless em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Here's another classic today...trying to establish if they can tell me something they know about a number and we were looking at number 5, when one child said...I know it's a number 5 because it's a 2! mmmm some number reversal problems I think!
