Today we finished our assembly with a grand unveiling for the school of the wonderful mural by the art club, with support of Damian Callan and Mrs Dong.
The mural represents our school’s special role as a bridge between Scottish and Chinese cultures as home to a Confucius hub.
It will hopefully be installed over the summer.
We enjoyed tasting Chinese Foods, learning more about the Chinese Zodiac, and other Chinese customs, and made our own willow plates, dragons and pandas!
Before the midterm break P3/4 had a great time celebrating our Chinese Culture Week.
Activities they tried included calligraphy making fans and performing a fan dance at the first level Chinese culture celebration.
P7 Treated the School to a fantastic assembly of Chinese folk tales and songs and we even had a visit from a dragon this week.
Well done to all of P7 and their adult helpers.
P7 were back at the zoo this week for a Confucius talk and to see Pandas.
They had a great time.
Some of our P7s went on an after dark trip last Friday to see the chinese lanterns exhibit at the zoo.
They had a great time and saw some amazing sights.
We’ve received the following information from the Confucius institute.
