Learning Chinese in Room 6 - Mr Reid

For the last three weeks I have been introducing Mandarin Chinese into our classroom.  We have been learning how to say 'hello, how are you?', 'thank you', and count from 1-10.  The important part of this that has been introduced this week is the tones.  The students goal for the next week is to say 'hello' and 'thank you' at school.

See this website for an explanation of the tones

Xiè Xie - Thank you
