Concert has rasied hundreds of pounds for LMS

（Zizhou Zhang)

On Sunday 6th December, a charity concert was held at SPACe Sports Centre to raise money for our Chinese school.  Nearly 30 students (plus one music teacher) participated in this event, where the instruments were diverse and interesting and the level of ability ranged from those just starting to learn to people who have had considerable experience performing.  The turnout of the audience was surprisingly high, which meant that we needed extra seats in the studio!  This concert was a huge success, and nearly £200 was raised from ticket sales.  We enjoyed watching the performances very much, and we hope this has also provided valuable experience for our younger performers to use in the future.  A big thank you to all who participated and supported the concert, to the audience by buying tickets, and special thanks to Ms Chang Yan and the school for helping with ticket sales and promotions, the SPACe for sponsoring the concert, and to the parents of Yan Jiangrei and Li Sihui for helping with transportation and set-up of all the equipment, including the piano!  The audience apparently wanted more of this in the future, so what this space!

The new year starts with a pop!

All teachers attended an after-school training session on 13th September 2009. At the meeting teams of teachers who have been to Shanghai and Beijing during the summer holidays took the opportunity to share their experience and achievements. Shang team shared their slide show and shared their software. Beijing team brought back tons of books and teacher's "laser gun".

The resources are deposited here if you are interested.

UKFCS (UK Federation of Chinese Schools) annual Cultural Performances competition was held on Sunday 22nd February in V&A Museum. Our school presented a group dance of 五彩云霞 (Colourful clouds) and drama 三只小猪 (The court case between the wolf and three piglets). The pupils were fantastic in their preparation. Everyone got there early (as early as 11:00am) and started working out, all remained devoted right till the end of the long day - after 5:00pm. Their performances were amongst the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhpYnxpZ8Q4   五彩云霞 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIH9BrsUi-8  三只小猪

Celebrating Chinese Festival in China Town, London (photographs)

新春之际，尽管天空飘来鹅毛雪花，我校学生仍然面带微笑，为前来参加牛年新春庆祝活动的观众做了出色的表演。 2009年2月1日，在香港东亚银行的鼎力赞助下，在伦敦市政府的通力协助下，一年一度的新春庆祝活动在唐人街又拉开了序幕。我校学生与其它中文学校的学生和老师同台表演了富有中国特色的文艺节目。二年级学生黄迪昂表演了他的拿手节目，快板《中华字经》，将中国文字的魅力一一道来；而三年级的朱杰妮与宋凯欣同学则充满激情地演唱了SHE的《中国话》。他们出色的表演，获得了场内外观众的阵阵喝彩声，为我校作了最好的宣传。 这些学生在我校的时间不长，但都取得了骄人的成绩。从拼音开始到学唱儿歌，说绕口令，说中国话，背中国诗词，字经，他们的每一个进步都与他们的认真学习，永不放弃的精神分不开。希望学校的其他学生也能像他们一样，努力学习中文，为将来展示自己特殊的才华做好准备。
