Transtlate With the coming of the summer term, the Confucius classroom of the Queen’s School continues its colourful Culture Club with a wide variety of exciting extra-curricular activities.
On a Wednesday afternoon girls can learn how to make Chinese knots in the Confucius classroom with Hanban teacher Qingjiang Chen. Chinese knot-making is a traditional folk art, linked with good luck in China. The girls are learning the culture of Chinese weaving as well as appreciating the beauty of the knots. The girls have been shown that the shapes of the knots have different meanings relating to Chinese people, history and culture. Some of the girls have been giving knots to their friends as presents.

The Chinese Fan Dance highlights delicate movements with constantly changing rhythm - truly dynamic and graceful. It is a popular form of art performed in ceremonies and celebrations.
