Gerald's School Excursion to Chinatown

Gerald's childcare arranged for a trip to Chinatown on 16 Jan 09, Friday. It was drizzling when we reached there. Fortunately, it stopped when we alighted the school bus.

As it was about 11am, most stalls were just opened for business. The children strolled along the five foot way while their teachers explained the some Chinese Traditions and customs. Everyone was very thrilled by the sight and sound, especially our non-chinese friends and teachers.

We saw lots of ornaments, red packets and fruits. Mommy and the teachers bought some back to the centre so that we can set up a "Celebration Table" for children to view.

It was a fruitful learning journey as the children got to experience the joyous festive mood and also learn the meaning of celebrating Chinese New Year with their friends.
Love,
Mommy
