CHILDREN from China have been experiencing what life is like in a Cheshire village.

Five exchange students from Shanghai have been guests at Lower Peover Primary School.

Headteacher Sharon Dean said: “The children have been fully immersed in the life of Lower Peover Primary School being involved in sports day practices, animation classes, maths, English, art, and French lessons.”

Founded in 2016, it provides a trilingual cultural-immersive learning experience for their students.

Currently, they have two nurseries and a language school in Shanghai, with more than 1,000 students from three to 14.

All the students are trilingual, speaking fluent French, English, and Chinese.

In the past 10 years, they have organised trips to France and Switzerland every summer.

This summer is the first time the children have been offered a place in the UK.

Mrs Dean said: “We have been privileged to have five children share the week with us in school.

“This has been an amazing experience for all the children and hopefully an international link we will grow in the future.

“The Chinese students have joined in with all the Year 4 lessons and had a taste of life at Lower Peover.

“We have thoroughly enjoyed having them with us and will be sad to say goodbye.”

The Chinese students, she said, produced some amazing pieces of art work on the topic of refugees.

The whole school has been studying ‘advocates of change’ as a Geography topic during the summer term.

The Chinese children also joined the class on a local area walk to view the countryside and physical features of Lower Peover, including the Peover Eye and the Tree of Imagination.

Mrs Dean added: “It has been a wonderful experience for the pupils from Shanghai and pupils at Lower Peover CE Primary School.

“We hope this is a partnership we will continue for many years.”
