The older kids will be learning how to set their tablet devices up this week to be able to type in Chinese!  So don’t forget to bring your devices! When they get the hang of it, they will be able to make their own piks like the one above, or even videos like the one below that Aurora and Lucas made.

Aurora and Lucas had seen Groovi Pauli’s video of some of his students singing 你喂熊猫吗？(nǐ wèi xióng māo ma?) ‘Did you feed the Panda?’ so they decided to do their own version and ‘movie maker’ video to go with it.  They will treat both the little and older kids to a little puppet show version of the song this story time! It is a good song to learn, lots of useful language in there!

Here are the words, followed by Groovi Pauli’s version:

你为熊猫吗？喂了。    熊猫吃饱了吗？吃饱了。

你喂它什么？比萨饼。  他吃了比萨饼吗？吃了。

他吃了多少？ 很多。   它还好吗？肚子疼。

他睡了吗？睡了。      他睡多久？很久。
