Dear Parents
The Mandarin Department is very busy organizing our new event which we are very pleased to give you information about. Our amazing Temple Fair at BSB to celebrate Spring Festival and the Year of Rat will take place on Monday January 20th. We hope children and staff will enjoy the day and we would like the students to dress in Chinese costume or wear something red if possible.
There will be colorful performances and plenty of traditional activities, crafts and snacks (please see details below in "CNY Temple Fair Letter to Parents") for the children to see and buy from vendors. Also, lots of fun and interactive activities with traditional art and craft will create a wonderful New Year atmosphere.
Children in Primary will be timetabled to visit the fair with their class teacher and TA during the day. There will be opportunities for them to buy things so please discuss this with your child/ren and explain that is a little similar to Santa’s Secret Shoppe where they choose what they want to buy, pay and get change. Older children will help younger children with this. Please put some money with your child’s name and class printed on the envelope with a range of notes (5, 10, 20RMB) to a maximum of 200RMB. They can then enjoy the tradition food on offer and participate in lots of fun Chinese activities.
Secondary students will also visit the fair during the day and during lunch time, so please provide them with some money to enjoy the Temple Fair. Vendors will donate 10% of their taking to the school for charity.
We hope everyone enjoys the day.
Kind regards,
Mandarin Department
