Welcome to my third year of keeping a photo journal, where I add a photo each week of the Chinese Zodiac Year. Links to my previous journals for the Year of the Tiger and the Year of the Rabbit are below on the right.
Why have I used a Welsh Dragon on my banner? Well, our family is more than half Welsh - Mike is Welsh and grew up in South Wales, and my paternal Grandfather was Welsh, although he moved to Australia as a child. I like the amalgamation of our Welsh heritage with our current life in China.

Week 45 - Ding dong ding, everybody sing

These little cuties are in the Early Years Choir... the ones with Santa hats on are 4 years old, and the ones without are 3 years old. They put on a Carols by Candlelight concert (with a lot of help from their amazing teachers) to celebrate the newborn King, and of course the other festivities that go with Christmas!  
The cutest bit was when they all stopped singing and dropped their jaws open when they heard a loud 'Ho Ho Ho' from Santa Claus!

Week 33 - Year 1 Field Trip

Jie Jie and her friends had a lovely excursion to Century Park in Pudong, Shanghai where they were given teeny tiny coloured pieces of paper and then had to find a matching colour in nature to create an artist's palette.  The autumn flowers and leaves were stunning and the park really is a beautiful spot to visit. Funny enough there were about 4 couples visiting the Park taking wedding photos, I bet they were surprised to be overrun by more than a hundred 5 year olds!!
