开学后的第二个星期，我参加了舞狮工作坊，觉得非常好玩。舞狮老师们告诉我们，舞狮分成南狮和北狮，南狮的体型高大，看起来很威风。北狮的毛比较多，是金色的。我还亲手试了试狮头，发现狮头很重，要一直举起来，一点也不容易。舞狮的时候，还要跟着鼓声和同伴好好配合。这次工作坊，放我知道，舞狮是新加坡华人的传统文化，我希望以后还有机会学习舞狮，把这个传统传承下去。

In term 3 week 2, I attended a lion dance workshop and had a wonderful time. The instructors explained that there are two main types of lion dance — the Southern Lion and the Northern Lion. The Southern Lion is tall and commanding in appearance, while the Northern Lion is golden and covered in thick, flowing fur. I even got to try on the lion head myself, and was surprised by how heavy it was. Holding it up throughout a performance is no small feat! On top of that, performers need to stay in sync with the drumbeat and work closely with their partner to pull it off well.

The workshop opened my eyes to lion dance as a cherished part of Singapore's Chinese cultural heritage. I hope to have more opportunities to learn it in the future, so that this beautiful tradition can be passed down for generations to come.

今天学校有联合早报采访也有舞狮的活动。我好喜欢舞狮虎虎生威的表演，让我们看了大开眼界，意犹未尽。同时李老师也分享了舞狮的历史，我这才知道原来有南狮和北狮。 当然，我最喜欢的就是我们能戴上狮头，学怎么眨眼睛和动耳朵。这真让我们大家都玩得不亦乐乎， 也很感恩学校为我们举办这样边学习边玩乐的活动。

Today, our school was visited by Lianhe Zaobao for an interview, and we also had a lion dance activity. I absolutely loved the lion dance performance — it was bold and spirited, and left us all in awe, wanting more. Teacher Li also shared the history of lion dance, and it was through this that I learnt for the first time that there are two types: the Southern Lion and the Northern Lion. Of course, my favourite part was getting to put on the lion head ourselves and learning how to blink the eyes and move the ears. It was so much fun that none of us wanted to stop! I am also truly grateful to the school for organising such an enriching activity that blends learning with play.
