Confucius Classroom: Visit to the Chinese Museum
Concentrating on Chinese culture excursion
On the 20th of August, Confucius Classroom organized Year 8 Chinese students to visit Chinese Museum. This is a great opportunity to gain an overview of Chinese culture and Australian Chinese history.
They took a museum tour guided by staff from the Chinese museum. Our students learned a lot about the early Chinese settlers in Australia. They boarded on a boat to experience how Chinese people came to Australia. They went into the Guandi Temple to learn its meaning. They visited the Dragon Gallery to learn the symbol of the Chinese dragon. The students learnt to make Chinese knots for good luck.
They also tasted delicious Chinese food at lunchtime and enjoyed the authentic Chinese dishes such as sweet and sour pork, stir-fried rice and spring rolls.
This excursion is sponsored by Chinese government funding. The students enjoyed the free trip for a culture experience.
