Chinese New Year visit to Ang Mo Kio - Thye Hua Kwan Hospital

Mrs Y speaks...

Some of your friends and I went to AMK-Thye Hua Kwan Hospital (the one next to our school) last Saturday, together with Mr. Martin Tan and P4.3. We visited the old folks and brought them Chinese New Year greetings and goodies.

I was very touched by how your friends treated the old folks. Initially your friends were abit nervous as it was a first time for most of them. However when they wished a few old people, they picked up their courage and approached the old people on their own, wishing them well and bringing smiles, even tears of joy, to their faces.

It was a good experience which I believe everyone enjoyed. I hope those who went remember to reflect and blog about their feelings and experiences.

Festivals

Hi Everyone,

We are now celebrating Chinese New Year. This is one of the many festivals celebrated by the Chinese. The Malays, Indians and other races also celebrate their own festivals.
For this week, I would like you to reflect on the meaning of these festivals and how did you celebrate this CNY.

To help you with your reflection, I have listed some questions/pointers below:
1. Tell us about the festival you celebrate.
2. Why do you celebrate this festival?
3. How do you celebrate the festival?

Looking forward to reading your reflection soon.

Happy Lunar New Year!

1. Are you excited about the year of the OX?

2. What are your plans for this Chinese New Year?
