For the first half-term of 2018, the pupils enjoyed a creative curriculum where by all lessons focused on the theme of ‘Journey to the Orient’. Pupils have taken part in Tai Chi and Yoga lessons; cooked (and eaten) Chicken Chow Mein; looked at the design of Chinese gardens; experimented with brush strokes to create Chinese art; crafted clay dragons; and learnt about the Great Wall of China.


Junior School Head, Edward


Rossiter said: “The children were really motivated by the creative topic based curriculum. They enjoyed their learning and were engaged and motivated. “The Dragon Workshop was especially entertaining … the children not only learnt how to make the dragon come to life but also discovered that dragons are important to Chinese people who think of them as helpful, friendly creatures, linked to good luck, long life and wisdom.” 5
