Friday afternoon

This afternoon we met up with the middle school...ages 12-18..it was such an amazing welcome, a lot of the kids were waving and shouting out the classroom windows as they were awaiting of our visit...they thought we were so exciting people and wanted to know all about us and Scotland. We went to one classroom and were greeted with lots of eager children waiting to pick one of us as their partner for the morning. We painted maskes together and talked about each other helping with their English, which for 12 year olds was impressive. The little girl that choose me was given the English name of Coco. She want to become an English teacher and come to visit us in Scotland one day when she finishes her studies. After the painting three boys carried out a play although in Chinese we still knew it was a comedy and they made us laugh with their actions. Then onto the dance studio and the kids there performed another special dance with Chinese fans whixh was explaining about their family names and what their choosen name means. Their names are picked with expectations in mind or how they see their child it is a very important and special time for them. It was a great day and we swapped email addresses with the kids if they want to keep in touch.
See you all too soon Liz x
