Chinese workshop

This week Year 2 had a special visitor Mrs Lee. She is from China and came to teach us some things as part of our topic. We were taught how to say lots of things in Chinese such as, 'hello', 'thank you' and also how to count to 10.

She also showed us how to Chinese calligraphy and we all had a go. You had to keep your hand very steady and not press down on the soft brush.

We also used chopsticks to pick up pasta from a traditional chinese bowl. It was very tricky!!

Finally we shown some dragon puppets. We really liked the lion!
