Spring Term 2020

As part of Class 2's Geography topic about the country China we invited staff from UCLAN into school. All of the Class 2 children enjoyed the Chinese Workshop and found out lots of new information about daily life in China. A big thank you to Mrs Yang who also worked with the Class 2 children during the topic. Mrs Yang also helped us to connect with our Partner School in China. 

During the topic the children designed and made their own Chinese lantern, learnt how to use chop sticks, and learnt different greetings in Mandarin.
