In Chinese classes the students enjoyed a fabulous time learning about and celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival, one of China’s most important festivals!
The students got their hands messy making traditional festival pastries called Mooncake, painting pictures, making lanterns and other handcrafts which symbolise the Festival, including the Lord Rabbit. We sang songs and listened to stories about Mid-Autumn Festival while enjoying the art and culture that accompany it.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!

Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
This term, Year 2 have been learning about many interesting people in our ‘What makes someone inspirational?' Topic. They have explored space pioneers, technology forerunners, civil right activists, inventors and many other inspiring individuals.
