Chinese Club
Handsworth Grammar School has a new addition to its range of extra-curricular activities – Chinese Club. Mrs Fiess, who runs the club, had been learning Mandarin Chinese privately for several months, when an opportunity became available to attend an intensive summer language course for UK language teachers on a scholarship to be trained to teach Mandarin to beginners. Mrs Fiess spent two and a half weeks in Shanghai in August and came back with improved language skills and a lot of ideas. Chinese Club has now been running every Monday since 10th October and is a great success. It is regularly attended by a range of students from year 7 to year 13 as well as staff who are learning Mandarin Chinese as well as experiencing aspects of Chinese culture such as music, history, art and food. 太好了!
