Singing the new year song together

Let’s tend to the blossoms together Hey! Spring flowers will always blossom for us

~*~ Bonus Video ~*~

This lovely video was recommended by Geraldine from 5C!
It's a lively song and if you're able to sing the first part of the song, you would have 'armed' yourself with eight well-wishing phrases （吉祥话） for the new year!
Enjoy!

Hymns for the first mass in 2019

Dear girls, how are you all doing?

We'd be back in school soon and I can't wait to see you again!

We'd be having mass very soon and it'd be good for you to do some practice. 

Hymns that we'd be singing for the Opening of the Year Mass:

Away in a Manger

Our Blessing Cup

O Holy Night

Christ be our Light

We offer this bread to you, O Lord

Finally, the following song isn't one of the mass songs, but it moves me so much that I have to share it:

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Have a merry Christmas season and a happy new year!

Children's Day Songs

Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you!

Semoga Bahagia
