Learning about China in Mr. Curtin's Class!

-

 As Chinese new year approaches, Mr. Curtin and his class have been learning all about the origins of the Chinese Zodiac calendar. We have also been learning all about the country of China!

Here are some facts from Giacomo!

1. Half of the worlds pigs are found in China.

2. Parts of the Great Wall of China are held together by sticky rice.

3. The Great Wall of China is the biggest man-made structure in the world.

4. The city of Shanghai has the biggest dock in the world.

5. Wuhan is the first city to have a case of Covid-19.

Check out some photographs of our Chinese display and artwork!

  During this last month, we have been doing a lot of fun work. We have been learning about China and the Chinese New Year tradition. Natas bought Mr. Curtin a Lego Chinese calendar and we built it for his desk. Check it out in the photo! (Photo 1)   We have started reading a new novel called ‘The Thief of Always’ by Clive Barker. It was written in 1983 and is the same age as Mr. Curtin! It has been turned into a Graphic Novel also, so we are comparing both versions. We made covers of the book from different countries around the world. Here is a picture of the Chinese novel cover. (Photo 2)   It is Book Fair time in school and we are enjoying looking at all of the fantastic books! (Photo 3)   That’s all for now! Paighton 😊
