China Event - April 2008

one of the displays

The event was hosted by pupils who displayed a range of talents including presentation skills, cooking skills, singing skills, Manderin speaking and even origami skills! Guests included a range of parents, pupils and friends of those from S1 - S3 in addition to the Director of Education and some of her colleagues from Education Services who were more than willing to try their hand at origami. Mr Mitchell also attended and was delighted to show off his chopstick skills with a fun activity involving transferring Fair Trade chocolate raisins from one bowl to another.
