We organized a host of activities to introduce Chinese culture, cuisine, arts etc. so that students could learn about Chinese culture and origins of festivals since childhood and learn to appreciate Chinese arts. These activities also enhanced their senses of national identity. Through different hands-on activities of the theme/sub-theme: Chinese New Year, the National Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival, K1 students felt the joy and festive vibe. In the theme ‘The World is so Big’, K2 students learnt that Hong Kong was part of China and specialities of China and tried to observe Hong Kong’s geographical location on a map of China. Through the extended activities of the Greenfield book ‘My Mother Country’, students learnt about different Chinese traditional art, including: ink wash painting, paper cutting, designing Chinese opera masks, calligraphy, the evolution of Chinese words and shadow play. Besides, students made and tasted different Chinese food, for example, Tang Hulu, dumplings and Tang Yuan. The Greenfield book ‘Happy Holidays’ cultivated students love to their hometowns. 1.Activities for Different Grades 1.1 K1
