Year 6 take part in Chinese calligraphy workshops
All news
The day culminated in an assembly led by several A-Level Mandarin students, who did an excellent job sharing their knowledge and passion. To add a festive touch, every student received an "ang pao," a traditional red envelope symbolising good luck and prosperity.
It was a brilliant day celebrating language learning and the Chinese New Year, and we hope it has inspired many of our students to pursue Modern Foreign Languages in their senior school years.
Thank you to all the staff and students who made this day memorable.
In the pupils' words:
"Chinese New Year was a great experience. I really loved the language lesson. I remember how to say 'hello'."
"It was really fun to do the calligraphy and learn things in Chinese to see the differences between languages."
“Even though I speak Chinese at home, it was really fun to sing songs in Chinese and to encourage my friends try to speak Mandarin. I had to help a few people with their pronunciation but they did really well.”
