As we have had a lot of dealings with the Confucius institute recently Chinese club were invited to UCLAN’s Sports Arena in Preston on Thursday 25th September for a day  of  immersion in Chinese culture.  Nine children were accompanied by Mrs  DeSilva ( the school’s  global learning leader) for a day which included kite flying, martial arts, Tai Chi, lion  dance demonstrations and a Jianzi competiton.  Jianzi is a sport popular in China which involves a keepy up style game with a Chinese shuttlecock.  Sam Grimes did particularly well winning a prize for the most keepy ups and Rachel Webster won a prize for best kite flyer!!
