Today was such a time when forty of our Year 5&6 children performed in Mell Square Solihull, at the inaugural Chinese New Year celebrations for the town. In freezing weather our pupils looked amazing and sang in Mandarin Chinese a very difficult Chinese New Year song in front of hundreds of people. Their singing was simultaneously broadcast 'live' by BRMB Radio across the whole of the West Midlands region. It was a stunning achievement and our pupils are a credit to their school, their parents and families and most of all, to themselves!!

Huixin showed us a really interesting Chinese traditions and customs 'powerpoint' presentation and also taught us new Chinese words to celebrate Spring Festival 2009 - 'The Year of the Ox'. She also asked two pupils to wear a super Chinese Lion head costume and distributed lucky Chinese red envelopes to the 8th child on the register of every class in Peterbrook. Did you know that in the Chinese calendar, this year is the year 4707!! For the rest of the world it is only 2009!! Wow!! Our fabulous singers finished off a wonderful assembly with their amazing Chinese New Year song, sung in Mandarin!!

Today only 5 of the 12 members of the cast of 'The Statue of the Ancient Hero' are still pupils at Peterbrook - they were in Year 5 then - Demia, Charlotte, Megan, Saffron and Tyler. Listen as we recall our magical moments from the visit - the experience changed them forever.
