Last Thursday a group of 45 students from years 9 and 10 made the trip up to London to a Mandarin Study Day hosted by the British Film Institute.
Students enjoyed a day of activities and the students were introduced to new Chinese vocabulary,. Students were able to analyse film clips and discuss the cultural background and meaning behind them. There were many school groups from around the country at the event, so we felt very proud when the organisers of the event commented on Carisbrooke students, saying our students in particular were “lovely”.
Mr Briscoe said: “Our students had their hands up throughout the event and contributed considerably. Overall I am extremely proud of the way Carisbrooke students engaged with the content, behaved safely and conducted themselves for the duration of a long and tiring day.” Chinese language assistant Mr Zeng, who also attended the trip said: “The trip was wonderful! Different types of movies were chosen – showing the culture from both ancient and modern China. Our students learned from the movie clips and characters and were the best ones in the cinema.”
