Creative learning

Pupils at St Cleopa’s Primary School, Liverpool were given a maths and creative arts masterclass by visiting Chinese teachers as part of the school’s commitment to prepare their students for a “world of opportunities beyond their doorsteps”.

The teachers from Huxin School in Pudong, Shanghai led pupils through a number of creative maths exercises, as well as showing them the basics of calligraphy.

Jonathan Conn, international schools co-ordinator, who helped arrange the visit, said: “By forging links with Zimbabwe, France and beyond we have shown our children the world that awaits them.

“We had a great time learning something different and despite the linguistic barrier we saw that the passion for learning worldwide shines through in any language.”
