Some of the things we have created include:

Chinese Word searches and Games

Chinese Colouring Ins

Chinese Dragons from Handprints

Chinese Lanterns

Lucky Chinese Envelopes

Large Chinese Dragon

Chinese Paper Dolls

Chinese Masks

Chinese Writing

Chinese fact Finding

Our Next country and theme is Japan, where we will be exploring this for a three week period, so keep an eye out for some of the things we get up too!

Just in time for Christmas we received this beautiful card from Candy in China.

The image was taken by Candy herself. It is of the Northwest of China. A very different view of rural life than most post cards would depict. It is definitely a beautiful card. Thanks Candy for sharing your life, photography and perspective with us!

This card travelled 8,069 kilometres over 15 days to get from Candy’s house to ours.
