应诺丁汉中（小）学的邀请，诺丁汉孔子学院参加了该校小学部于2012年5月29日举行的“中国日”活动。一百二十几位9—11岁的男孩参与了为他们准备的各类有关中国的活动，渡过了令他们难忘的、快乐的一天。
诺丁汉中（小）学是一所历史悠久的私立学校，听说在全英名列第三。学校男、女生分开在两所分校就读。举行“中国日”活动的是男校。当日从9点15分活动开始，到下午3点45分结束，孩子们分组轮流参与了汉语浅尝、太极、中国文化与历史、剪纸、中国茶品尝、中国民族乐器“葫芦丝”演奏欣赏、中国舞龙等课程与实践活动，使孩子们初步领略了中国语言与文化的魅力，增长了他们对中国的认识，激发了他们对中国的兴趣。活动的第二天，校方活动组织者Walster小姐发来电邮，对诺丁汉孔子学院参与这次活动表示了衷心的感谢。她特意提到了孩子们对此次活动的反馈，他们一回家就兴奋地向父母叙述这一天的经历，用刚学到的中文说“你好，爸爸”、展示刚学的太极招式。
此次活动取得了成功，同时也说明英国孩子们对于了解、学习中国语言和文化的巨大潜在的需求。我们将继续努力，加强宣传与联系，把此类活动进一步推广开来。
China Day——Nottingham High School Kids’ Day of Fun
Nottingham Confucius Institute was invited to join the China Day festival of Nottingham High School on May 29, 2012. More than 120 primary school boys took part in this activity, which brought them a pleasant and memorable day.
Nottingham High School is a UK’s third best private primary and junior school, which has a long history. The school has two separate parts for boys and girls. And it was the boy part which held the China Day Festival. The festival began at 09:15 and ended at 15:45. The boys enjoyed easy Chinese, Taiji, China culture and history, Chinese handcraft, tea culture, traditional Chinese music, and dragon dance, etc. They tasted the fascination of Chinese language and culture, and showed great interest in everything. The next day we got an email from the organizer Miss Walster, which expresses great thanks to our Confucius Institute. She said in the email that, the boys were all excited about the experience and showed some Chinese words and Taiji gestures to their parents after school.
The success of this activity indicates the potential demands of English children’s understanding and learning Chinese language and culture. We will do our best to promote cultural communication, strengthen the relationship between Confucius Institute and local schools, and popularize this kind of activities.
