London China Town


Most of my  Year 6 students were born in 2004, so they were born in the Year of the Monkey. People born in this year are gentle, honest and have a long love life. However, they also have some shortcomings such as a impetuous temper and a tendency to look down upon others.

Do you want to know your lucky numbers, lucky colours, lucky flowers?

Chinese New Year is also called Spring Festival and it has got more than 4000 years of history. It started during the Hang Dinasty to fight against the monster "Nian", It has links with the five elements because ancient Chinese believed the universe was composed.


The monster Nian ate children and farm animals but it was afraid of light colours and loud sound.
It is the grandest and the most important event for Chinese people. It's a time for enjoying family and friends and remembering ancestors.




People usually give gift of red envelopes of lucky money. There are a lot of ancient customs, superstitions and stories about Chinese New Year.
Are you a monkey, a rat, an ox or a horse?





















Why do you think people decorate their houses in red?
Why do you think people set off firecrackers?
Why do you think people light candles?
Why do you think people stay up the whole night?



The festival lasts for 15 days from the 1st to the 15th day of the first lunar month. The lunar calendar is also used for horoscopes. Which zodiac sign are you?


What about the  Chinese zodiac? Do you know about the twelve Chinese zodiac animals?
Which Chinese zodiac animal are you? What does it say about you?

There are eleven real-life animals and a mythical one.
Are you a clever rat? Are you a brave tiger? Are you a hard-working ox? An energetic dragon?








Every Chinese person is associated with one of the animals based on the year he or she was born.

Hello everyone,
This week we are working the parts of the body and students have used their bodies to make letters.
How many letters can you form with your body? I guess some, but if you join other people you can make more shapes and make a lot of.

Let's revise the parts of the body. Listen carefully and repeat.

They are from Budapest, Hungary, and they also won Britain's got Talent
This video has left me speechless.



The group acte out a story of a man and a woman who meet at Stonehenge, fall in love, marry, and have a child. The father goes off to war shortly after their baby is born, and dies tragically. The piece ends with an image of the mother and daughter standing beside his tombstone.

30th January. School Day of Non-Violence and peace.

Good morning everyone,
Did you celebrate School Day on Non-violence and peace?
What do Non-violence and peace mean? Read this list of things and think:

  • Making friends.
  • Solving our conflicts talking.
  • Helping people
  • Being kind.
  • Listening different opinions.
  • Respecting for others
  • Being tolerant.

















Can you add other ideas? And other peace symbols? Can you create new ones?

Read this poem called "Tristes guerras si no es amor la empresa" by the Spanish writer M. Hernández:

Listen to Serrat sing that poem and talk about war (Spanish and Catalan).


And now can you think about pacific attitudes?
