On Thursday 7th February, Charles Dickens Primary School was joined by very special guests from The British Council to celebrate our learning about Chinese culture and language.
Mr Martin Davidson CMG, Chief Executive of The British Council joined pupils to watch our sharing of a whole school project on China, based on British Council teaching pack, Snakes and Dragons. Children performed dragon dances, led lantern processions, made their own Terracotta Army models, wrote poetry and learnt maths in Mandarin.
Mr Davidson addressed the school in Chinese, much to the amazement of the pupils and then went on to praise the school for its commitment to internationalism and for its creative learning about China. He has urged us on to begin learning Mandarin so watch this space!
