Conversational Mandarin for kids, Northland Memorial Community Centre, Tuesdays 4:30pm

Ni Hao Children's Community charitable trust

Fun classes for children Years 1 to 8 learning Mandarin Chinese as an Additional Conversational Language are happening near you!

The classes are starting Tuesday 9 May, 4:30pm-5:20pm at the Northland Memorial Community Centre (Memorial Rooms). Families can enrol or view more info on www.nihaocc.org.nz.... You can also book a free trial for the first two weeks of the term here: nihaocc.org.nz...

Our 50-minute classes provide full immersion in the language so that the children learn and absorb in a Mandarin Chinese speaking environment. The classes are for those learning the language as a foreign or second language, and the aim is that the children learn to converse in it! We follow a structured curriculum, and use lots of interaction, songs/raps, movement and games as part of the learning experience. There are no whiteboards or desks!

The emphasis of these classes will be to develop listening, comprehension and conversational skills in Mandarin Chinese. The classes also introduce recognition and reading of Chinese characters, in a practical way.

Children can be dropped off to class and picked up after by a pre-authorised adult, however parents/caregivers are welcome to join in the class, and may sometimes be asked to help with props or be actors!

Merry Christmas -

I have around twenty, empty 10-liter distilled water bottles to serve as emergency water storage. I saved them for my friends, but they already have their own water supplies. Take as many as you like. Please respond to this notice if you are interested.

Best wishes - Michael
