As part of their lessons in Chinese language in culture, P6s were given the opportunity to try out a traditional Chinese national sport called “Jianzi”. The game involves trying to do keepy-uppies with a colourful, weighted shuttlecock. It has existed in China for over 2000 years!
P6s have been enjoying their mandarin lessons with Mr Lei, which recently involved learning about the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival.
