Fun with the Giddy Goats at Geelong Grammar Junior!
February 17, 2015 at 11:07 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentTags: Chinese Calendar Tales, Chinese New Year, Melbourne schools, The Tale of Pin Yin Panda, The Tale of Rodney Ram
Many thanks to lovely librarian Fiona O’Rourke (right below) and assistant Lyn (left below) who hosted me to a fabulous morning today with the loveable lambs of Prep and the giddy goats of Grade 4 at Geelong Grammar Junior School! The big kids met my artistic ram Rodney, and we had a great chat about Chinese customs for Chinese New Year and how these reflect Chinese values and relationships. And the little ones met my vain Pin Yin Panda and learned all about how the animals joined the Chinese Zodiac in Lord Buddha’s Great Race! I hope you all had as much fun as I did! Here I am above with Peter, who was a great help with my Chinese pronunciation – thank you Peter!
