The 12 Chinese Zodiac Symbol

In the Chinese custom, every year will be represented by one animal from the Chinese Zodiac Symbol. Today, we went through the names and the sequence of the Chinese Zodiac Symbol. Leow Xun managed to recall the sequence and help us to name it out in Mandarin. From there, I wrote all them in English.

There are 2 groups of children in this class, 6 years old and 5 years old. Their Chinese Zodiac Symbol is different. Therefore, we calculated the 6 years old from year 2016 which is the Monkey year. We moved backward until the year of Tiger. We did the same for 5 years old children when it ended in the year of Rabbit.

Here's the record that we wrote on the board.
