Year 1 have been enjoying their experiences during our Far Far Away topic. In particular, the children were ever so excited during their Chinese Workshop sessions, which gave them a chance to experience elements of Chinese culture. The children spun beautiful parasols and fluttered delicate fans. There is little doubt that being part of the dragon procession was the obvious highlight! The children have also experienced a Chinese school morning during which they lined up in rows to follow us in an exercise session, which was a challenge for everyone’s skills of balance and coordination. In the classroom, Year 1 have also tried their hand at Chinese calligraphy and have tried using chopsticks. We are very grateful to the PTA for funding the Chinese Workshop. These amazing learning experiences could not happen without the work that the PTA do and the generosity of all our families. The impact on all the children of these wonderful events is invaluable in so many ways.
