In P4/5, we have enjoyed learning about China this term. Miss Corby started the project with us before the holiday and we have been joined by a student teacher, Miss Wilson. We were very excited when she taught us how to make Chinese dumplings (Jiaozi).
Miss Zhou has just started working in lots of the classes in St Peter’s. She comes all the way from Wuhan in China and she has been helping us to learn Mandarin words. She was very good at making dumplings and using chopsticks!
Many thanks to Mrs McKinlay for taking these photos to help us to remember our learning.
