In our history study of ancient civilisations we have most recently been looking at China. And in a very timely coincidence Erin picked up a set of Chinese calligraphy brushes that Nanna was getting rid of, so we were able to try our hand at writing some characters.
We looked at how our names are written and also at how the characters have changed over time. In the end we each wrote a "story" using the few simple characters that we had looked at. The rest of us then had to try and interpret it (this was a bit tricky times!)
I was pleasantly surprised at how interested and happily occupied the kids were.
