Look at finishing your letters to the Beijing No.2 Experimental Primary School. We have recieved some lovely letters and are going to start to reply this week.

Research Beijing 北京, we are going to create a display for the wall all about Beijing. How can you contribute to this?

Why not try drawings, photos, presentations, posters, projects, models, make a book, paper cutting, calligraphy.

Look up the kind of things that interest you; cars, food, schools, fashion, books, TV, films, sports, history, buildings to name a few.
