Today Year 6 started on their new topic—China! They arrived in school to discover the classroom had been transformed into a small corner of China. They were joined for their entry point lesson by  Professor Harriet Evans from the University of Westminster. The children got dressed up in traditional Chinese style clothing before they told Harriet everything they knew (or thought they knew!) about China. They then went on to begin their learning about China’s history as well as political, economic and social issues in China today. This topic will run for the rest of this half term and Harriet will be coming in to work more with the children. We will be covering all aspects of Chinese society and comparing it to life in the UK as well as learning a some Mandarin Chinese. We’ll keep you posted with photos and films here on the website.
