The art of teaching Chinese
Sevenoaks was amongst the first schools in England to
offer Mandarin, in response to just a handful of children
who wanted to learn it.
Now it’s in real demand. Over 125 students, and counting.
Learning the characters is key of course; how to read them
and write them. So naturally our dive into the culture also
involves attempts to teach Chinese calligraphy.
Lettering or art form? You decide.
If you’re not fluent, this phrase means ‘seven oak trees’.
