We are having the best experience with Mandarin teacher Mr Du from the East Ayrshire Chinese Team. He is based at Loudoun Academy and visits us on a Thursday afternoon.
We were learning about table manners and dining etiquette in China last week and compared it to our dining etiquette in the UK. We learned that their tables are almost always circular and they have a rotating circular centre that they sit all the food on. They always order extra food and they share the food unlike in the UK when we order a singular portion. He also taught us that they always expect to have too much food and it is better to have food left on the plates than finish every thing.
We were learning greetings this week in class and we have this video to show you our song.
