Lion Dance

On Wednesday we did a lion dance. We were supposed to do the lion dance on discover china week but they could not be there because of some issues. 

First we partnered up, one person as the head, and one as the butt.

I was with Sammy an I was the butt of the lion.

We learnt some moves then we got into the costumes. There were only 4 costumes so we has to take turns.

There was a orange, red, yellow, and white lion.

When I was in the butt of the lion, Sammy had a rope tied around her waist and I held onto it while I bent down to make the lions back. 

Here is some photos.

(Me and Sammy is the white lion.)

 In maths we have been learning about probability. We did some work on it and we had to make a slideshow about the scales on probability. Here is mine.

Discover China Day.

 We did a discover china day in class that went on for two days, we 5 different rotations on the course of each day.

On the first day we did calligraphy, fan dancing.

On the other day we did Chinese music, ta quan do, and martial arts.

Here I am doing Chinese calligraphy with ink and a paint brush.

We wrote 4 different words. 

The words were 

thank you

hello

goodbye

you are welcome

Here we are doing fan dancing. We all got some fans and learnt a dance to do. It was very challenging.

When the fans opened they made a big noise.

We did some Chinese music and the instruments were called Guzheng. We listend to some of the history of the Guzheng, and the Guzheng being played. Then we played it. We had two song choices to play from.

We are doing this tai quan do thing. First we looked at some weapons the man had for training then we did some tai quan do. It was fun.
