Midnapore学校是一个提供幼儿园至六年级的中英双语项目。学习一门语言的重要组成部分也包括了解文化和特殊的庆祝活动。

2017年1月26日，学生为来宾们表演，包括同学、家长、祖父母和各种特别的嘉宾，如Graham Sucha （省议员）、Cindy McNiven（学习主任）、Kelly Christopher（教师配备部门负责人）、Alejandra Fleisher（CBE语言专家）、David Watson（Marion Carson校长）、Andrea Taylor（Le Rois Daniels校长）、Darren Whitbread（Harold Panabaker校长）、Ryan Turner（Highwood副校长）、Bob Slade（Colonel Irvine副校长）、Karen Perry（V区助理）以及Catharine Chua博士（卡尔加里大学）。

在开始晚间表演之前，我们花时间欢迎来宾并向聚集的土地致以敬意。学生们努力学习并组织了一些表演，如中国舞狮、功夫扇、诗歌、歌曲和中国风格的舞蹈。我们与卡尔加里太极武术学院和Brilliant舞蹈学院的教师合作。来自传统舞狮团的特别表演使我们的观众惊艳，并以兴奋的方式迎接新年。

在音乐会举行之前，学生们参与了许多与农历新年和鸡年有关的活动。我们的驻校艺术家李先生向学生们传授了知识，并有机会绘制中国文化中重要的景观，如熊猫、竹子、花朵和鱼。在家长社区的帮助下，学生们享受了教室的聚餐，也被称为团圆饭。学生们品尝到了饺子、面条、米饭、春卷、水果和蛋挞等美食。一些学生甚至尝试亲手包饺子。

我们学生喜欢有机会穿着传统的中国服装，并更多地了解中国文化和农历新年。我们的走廊上充满了美丽的学生艺术作品，描绘了公鸡、新年祝福和中国艺术。我们的中国新年庆祝活动取得了巨大的成功。祝大家鸡年快乐、健康！

​Midnapore School is a Mandarin Bilingual program for students from Kindergarten to Grade 6. An important part of learning a language is also experiencing the culture and special celebrations.

On Jan. 26, 2017, students performed for guests including, schoolmates, parents, grandparents, and various special guests including; Graham Sucha (MLA), Cindy McNiven (Director of Learning), Kelly Christopher (Teacher Staffing), Alejandra Fleisher (CBE Language Specialist), David Watson (Marion Carson Principal), Andrea Taylor (Le Rois Daniels Principal), Darren Whitbread (Harold Panabaker Principal), Ryan Turner (Highwood Assistant Principal), Bob Slade (Colonel Irvine Assistant Principal), Karen Perry (Area V assistant) and Dr. Catharine Chua (University of Calgary).

Before we began our evening performances, we took time to welcome our guests and acknowledge the land where we gathered. Students worked hard to learn and put together performances such as a Chinese Lion Dance, Kung Fu fans, poetry, songs and Chinese style dances. We worked in collaboration with instructors from Calgary Tai Chi and Martial Arts College, as well as Brilliant Dance Studio. A special performance from traditional lion dancers wowed our audience and welcomed the New Year with excitement.

Leading up to the concert students engaged in many activities connected to the Lunar New Year and Year of the Rooster. Students learned from our resident artist Mr. Li and had the opportunity to paint important scenery in Chinese culture, such as pandas, bamboo, flowers and fish. With the help of our parent community, students were treated to classroom potluck meals, also referred to as the reunion dinner. Students enjoyed delicacies such as dumplings, noodles, rice, spring rolls, fruit and egg tarts. Some students even experienced making their own dumplings.

Our students love having the opportunity to dress in traditional Chinese outfits and learn more about the Chinese culture and Lunar New Year. Our hallways came alive with beautiful student artwork, which illustrated roosters, new years greetings and Chinese art. Our Chinese New Year celebrations were a great success. We wish you all a happy and healthy Year of the Rooster!
