Mandarin

Nihao, today in room 13 we were lucky enough to have Mr Gu come in and teach us about how to use the calligraphy style brushes from China to write different characters in Mandarin. 

We first had to get use to holding the paint brushes, which we had to hold differently than we hold our pens and pencils. Then we practiced writing our characters with water to figure out how to use the brushes and finally we moved onto using ink! 

Thank you so much for coming in and sharing your knowledge with us Mr Gu!
