My name in chinese calligraphy




During October a Chinese lady named Zilan Liao came into Holly Lodge to tell us all bout Chinese culture and to show us how to do some creative work. She played the Chinese harp which is a traditional instrument in China although she told us about how it's slowly dying out. We then done some Chinese paper cutting and Calligraphy. I really enjoyed the Calligraphy as Zilan went round and showed how to write our own names in Chinese which I found interesting. We also wrote a poem after learning chinese numbers and the 5 basic strokes. The paper cutting was quite fiddley as when making the butterfly we has to cut in certain places which was tricky. Overall i enjoyed the day and learnt quite a lot of new things.
