A page from our LRD activity...

By Zara Trinidad

4 Joy did some interviewing today with this week's LRD. It was really noisy, but it was quite fun asking each other questions about the festivals that we celebrated. One of the "rules" was that we had to ask each other questions and answer in complete sentences, which was very hard!!

This is what I found out from 4 of my friends from this week's LRD p 16.




Name: Anne Lee Sook Yen
Race : Chinese
Name of festival celebrated: Chinese New Year
How is the festival celebrated:
She celebrates the Chinese New Year by going to other people’s houses and giving them Mandarin oranges. Adults give her red packets. Other people also come to her house and give Mandarin oranges.
What she loves most about this festival and why:
She loves the red packets because they have money inside them and she can save money.

playing with lanterns.

I found out from the interview that different people celebrate certain festivals differently. Take Chloe and Anne as an example. They celebrate Chinese New Year differently. What they like about that festival was also different.

I agree with Zara that interviewing is very fun and we can learn how other races celebrate their festivals. We can also find out what they like about the festival (e.g. red packets) and we also learn how to interview in complete sentences.
