Today our talented Year 3 children came together to rehearse and perform all of the songs they have learnt with Lulu and Ling during our weekly Mandarin Music lessons.  Over this last term, the children have learnt 6 songs in the wonderful Mandarin Chinese language of which 3 of these we will be performing in our upcoming ‘Chinese Whispers’ concert at the University of Hull’s Middleton Hall next term.

Below are just a few snippets of our wonderful singing and performing talents.

A familiar tune…Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes!

 

We have learnt to sing a song about one of the Chinese Written Characters to describe the strokes it is made up from to the melody of ‘Do-Re-Mi’ from the ‘Sound of Music’…

 

We have also learnt a song about ‘Springtime’ accompanied by actions…

 

We are all super proud of ourselves, and of each other, and cannot wait to perform for our audience at the ‘Chinese Whispers’ concert!  Learning a new language through music has enabled us to absorb and retain a skill which we will be able to draw upon and share with others. Thank-you Lulu and Ling for this wonderful opportunity that you have provided us with!
