What's it all about?

Hello and Welcome to the first post on our China2016 blog! First of all let's give you a bit of the background story.....well, back in October 2015 Mr Dixon was given a fabulous opportunity by the Confucius Institute to visit China with some other head teachers in Lancashire. He was taken to see some amazing sights in and around Beijing before being welcomed in to the No.2 Experimental Primary School in Qingdao. Mr Dixon enjoyed watching how the children in China learnt, played and spent their free time!

 

So what's going on in May?.....Well, since October, our China link has deepened due to Padiham Green’s involvement in a British Council bid with three other Lancashire schools. An opportunity for two teachers has arisen to visit Beijing and the No.2 Experimental Primary School in Qingdao where Mr Dixon visited last year!

In last week's newsletter Mr Dixon stated, "I’m delighted that this link continues and I know our teachers will love the experience. Mrs. Edwards, 克莱尔·爱德华兹 （教师）and Mrs. Gardiner, 娜塔莎·加德纳 （教师）will be travelling all the way to China in their May half term holiday. I’m sure there will be more news to follow with a possible visit from some Chinese pupils …from China to Padiham Green! That will be a great event for us."

So we invite you to follow our blog and we'll keep you up to date on how we're getting on!
