What a start we had to our week in P7 today! We had a wonderful workshop from the Chinese Confucius Society from the University of Ulster. Yuan came into our classroom and demonstrated how to use chopsticks. She then challenged us to use them to eat popcorn! Some of us found it easier than others, but despite that, all the popcorn was eaten!!! We then did some blow painting of flowers and created some beautiful art work. The last activity in our classroom was learning how to spin a Chinese handkerchief - that was lots of fun! After the workshop in the classroom, we were treated to an amazing display of Chinese Opera and dance in the hall were we learned all about the 'Changing Faces'. We also learned about the story of Nian and the significance of this for Chinese New Year.
