We were delighted to welcome over 80 pupils from local primary schools for our Year 5 Taster Day. They spent a day in the life of an Ignatian with lessons in Music, PE, Science and Mandarin (delivered by some very capable Year 10's while Ms Li is on the China trip!)#AMDG pic.twitter.com/qLvF1e0NiH

China Trip Students also learnt about Chinese medicine. They made their own sachets with Chinese herbs and 🌺 flowers. The majority of them went for the study and relax sachets because they wanted to sleep well and be focused in their Mandarin lessons. pic.twitter.com/kzZjqHjECf
