Excursion

Last week, we took a "bendy bus" to Chatswood to experience Chinese culture.

In the morning, we listened to musicians play the pipa, guzheng and erhu, three traditional Chinese instruments. The performance was arranged by Mr Eric Hong (see http://emilymax.com.au). 

Afterwards, it was time to try out our chopstick skills! We walked to Shanghai Stories 1938 at Chatswood Concourse for lunch. Plates brought to our tables tempted us with pork dumplings,spring rolls, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, salt and pepper calamari and sauteed green beans with minced pork..

Back at the Culture Centre, there was an engaging lesson about Taiwan and a masterly display of puppets. Vincent, the amazing puppeteer, will be in Darling Harbour on Sunday the 8th September.

My thanks to Ms Eva Angel, OCAC Taiwan, Mr Eric Hong as well as to the parents and teachers for a memorable day. MP.

Doesn't this Chinese Warrior look grand? We have tethered the horse outside our classroom. The rider says he is coming on our excursion because he enjoys Chinese music, food and puppets. Thank you Jonathan and everyone who has brought in the permission slips early. Visit our China page here.
