Dear Parents,
Greetings! I am Ms. Kelin, the Chinese teacher at Granton Primary School for this term. As we approach the end of the spring term, I would like to summarise your children's learning achievements and introduce our teaching plans for the next term. This will help you support your child in practising Chinese during the Easter holiday and prepare them for the upcoming learning goals.
Review of this Term's Learning Focus

Next Term Teaching Plan
To help students establish a systematic framework for learning Chinese, next term's lessons will focus on GCSE core topics:

Through these themes, we will gradually expand children's Chinese vocabulary and strengthen their ability to express themselves in different contexts. The curriculum will combine interactive activities, cultural experiences, and practical expression training to enhance their Chinese proficiency in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
