A day before the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Beijing, The People's Republic of CHINA, I explained the whole Olympic story to my LSP kids. I was surprised a few of them had been to Beijing!
I spoke to them about the Olympic mascots, the five Fu Wa, and how each represented a colour of the Olympic rings. After the lesson, they rushed to buy the Fu Wa keychains that were being sold at the school bookshop. I was amazed that they knew all the names of the mascots - Bei Bei, Jing Jing, Huan Huan, Ying Ying and Ni Ni, which means Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni, or Beijing Welcomes You!
