Building upon the success of last year's Robert Hart documentary, P7 pupils are delving deeper into the man, from whom our school is named after. Sir Robert Hart led a colourful life, and played a huge part in the development of China as a major player on the world stage. In the 1800's, Hart found his way to China from a young age, learning the Chinese language within three years and becoming Inspector-General of China's Imperial Maritime Custom Service. Pupils, with the aid of teachers, the Craigavon Historical Society and CRAIC NI, have had a real taste of authentic Chinese language, dress, food and culture. As the pictures show, pupils have enjoyed the proactive learning experiences.
