Year 7 Chinese New Year Dragon Challenge
Yesterday we held our Year 7 assembly and the judging of their MFL Chinese New Year Dragon Challenge.
What an amazing showcase of their creativity, commitment and resilience and the culmination of weeks of hard work from all Form Groups.
In honour of Chinese New Year our entire Year 7 cohort were tasked with creating their very own Chinese dragon using a minimum of ten cardboard boxes. Their brief stated they must be prepared to explain how they created and decorated their dragon and also use some Chinese symbols.
In front of a strict judging panel, including Head of Academy Mrs Ali and our guest Mr Rob Neal from Swire Chinese Language Centre Manchester, each of our Form Groups stepped up to present their wonderfully elaborate and colourful creations.
It was a very tough choice and we can’t congratulate all the students who took part enough but after lots of deliberation we were thrilled to announce our winners…
First Place : 7NYA
Second Place : 7OCO
Third Place : 7JDO
Well done Year 7, amazing work!
