The Chinese drumming made me feel interested as the loud beats and sounds made me feel like it was alive, as if a real dragon was dancing there. Kateri
I liked the Chinese drumming as I felt like I was in China doing the drumming. I felt the beat and the culture through the music. Harini
It was fascinating to hear cultural music and even better to get to play with cultural instruments. Noemie
The Chinese drumming was very loud and powerful. It made me feel brave and courageous. Samarth
I like martial arts because the poses were fun and it teaches about respect, trying hard, and focus. Garam
In martial arts, a lot of focus is needed, and it was very cool learning. I have respect for it. Luna
Chinese martial arts are different from other Australian sports I do because they focus on discipline and respect, not just winning. Amaya
I like the lion dance because you could dance while other classmates made music sounds. The mouth, ears, and eyes could move as if it were alive. Manlin
I like the lion dance because it was fun to operate and dance around in it. Emma
I like the lion dance because although I have seen the lion dance, I have never participated in it before. I learned what the lion is made of and how it works. Anthony
The lion dance shows cooperation and trust because the person in the front has to lead the person in the back. Daizy
I enjoyed the interesting flavours that I don’t usually find in the food I usually eat. Samarth
Learning Chinese culture helps us show respect to people from different backgrounds because once we learn that each country has different cultures, social status, and rules, we learn to respect other cultures. Bella
I would share with my family that China has a bright and colourful culture with a fascinating lion dance, and I have loved participating in and seeing it today. Noemie
