This week we will read 画了一匹蓝马的画家 ( huà le yī pǐ lán mǎ de huà jiā) ‘The artist who painted a horse’ by Eric Carle. The children can guess what crazy colours Eric Carle has painted his drawings 🙂

We can also sing a new balloon song.  Here are the words, you can sing to the tune of ‘My darling Clementine’.

Hóngsè qìqiú huángsè qìqiú

红 色 气 球， 黄 色 气 球，

wǒde qìqiú zhēn piàoliàng

我 的 气 球 真 漂 亮。

lǜsè qìqiú báisè qìqiú

绿 色 气 球， 白 色 气 球，

bié rang qìqiú fēi tiān shàng

别 让 气 球 飞 天 上。

Literal English Translation:
Red balloon, yellow balloon, My balloon very beautiful,
Green balloon white balloon, don’t let the balloon fly to the sky.
Song originally sourced from ‘Better Chinese’, lyrics changed to reflect better environmental practice 🙂
