"First Emperors" Exhibition had a huge audience and our school was selected to take part in speaking about the Chinese Zodiac Signs. The students from Hua Hsia Chinese School were the speakers on each animal representing the Chinese Zodiac Signs. The school coached students to translate the English text into Chinese and modified it, for their speeches at the British Museum.

This was followed by a feast of Chinese Breakfast for all parents and students and staff attending and taking part in the event.

Pictures illustrating the visit can be seen and also other Chinese media had Net Work coverage of the event.

The school would like to thank the following students who helped make this project possible and a great success:

Elliot Tan, Jeffrey Lake, Vincent Wong, Monica Chua, Berlinda Middleton, Lisa Lan, Lauren Oddoye, Sophia Huang, Oliver Baker, Richard Lan, Melissa Morgulis, Yolande Baker, Harriet Chang, Alexander Baker and Yue Huang

A special thanks to Laura Phillips and Kusuma Barnet from the British Museum.

Our teachers: Hsiu Nien Wei, Yueh Lin Tu, Head teacher Jane Huang and school secretary Rubena Jafery.

To all the parents who are there every Sunday, whose passion for Chinese language inspires me

To Friends of Hua Hsia, the Trustee Members who support the project

To Roland, my husband for being there, I couldn't do it without you.
