We have been connecting with the China Welfare Institute Children’s Palace in Shanghai. We had a visit from 10 children and their teachers who were visiting to celebrate the connection that Shanghai and Liverpool share. The children came to our school where we participated in a musical exchange sharing between our two schools. Our new friends from Shanghai were preparing for a concert with the Liverpool Philharmonic so they performed pieces of music and art including Erho, accordion, dance, calligraphy and paper cutting. Our Y5 orchestra, strings club and choir performed in return for our new friends and then we exchanged gifts that our craft club had prepared. It is wonderful to share music and culture with our new friends!
