China.

"I have been interested in China since my big brother started learning about China last year. To me it seems big, mysterious and a bit strange. When I think of China, I think of dragons, the Great Wall, lucky colours and numbers. Can someone please tell me why so many things are made there?" (Tara, 7 years old)

We learn about the Chinese panda and practise drawing it. We also paint in water colours its staple food, bamboo.

This unusual mammal is a great ambassador for China. 

Wang Wang and Funi are two Giant Panda ambassadors. They live in Adelaide Zoo.

In Ancient China silk was even more precious than it is today. Pinned to the back wall of our class, is a piece of silk clothing. This artwork was brought in by one of the children. 

Do you remember where silk comes from?
