Our last day in China! We cannot believe it is already over! Our students have had a truly once in a lifetime opportunity to not only visit China, but visit Chinese schools. On Friday we got up bright and early to catch the bullet train back to Shanghai and visited Shanghai Musuem where we saw ancient Chinese bronzes, calligraphy and ancient Chinese art. We then visited the beautiful Yu Gardens and had one final opportunity for students to shop, this time learning the art getting the best price Apprentice-style! We topped off the week returning to the Bund to see the skyscrapers lit up for the night. What a beautiful way to end the week. Every single student has taken so much from the trip and has been an absolute credit to themselves, and Lees Brook. As teachers, we are incredibly proud. ... See MoreSee Less

Our last day at our sister school saw us create bookmarks using the 24 Solar Terms, taking part in a PE lesson with some competitive games, before creating traditional sachets for each student. We rounded out the school exchange with stunning performances and our final gift exchanges. Finally, we visited the Anhui Youth Science and Technology Centre, experiencing interactive activities all linked to space. Tomorrow we return to Shanghai via the bullet train for our final day in China! 🇨🇳 🚆 ... See MoreSee Less

On our second day at two other campuses of Hefei No.50 Middle School, our students exchanged their gifts and met more buddies. We observed (and some volunteered to take part in) morning exercise routines at line ups! Our students then took part in an English lesson, learning about the importance of team work through a Chinese climbers experience of climbing Mount Everest, followed by a traditional Chinese tea art ceremony. Students then loved making their own steamed buns and eating them as part of their lunch. We then visited the second campus to learn about Chinese calligraphy, take part in Kung Fu, Diablo, and even see the robotic dog! Finally, we visited the traditions folk museum of Anhui, learning about ceramics, traditions dress and taking part in a tie dye activity with their Chinese peers. Another fantastic day here in China! ... See MoreSee Less
