A drama play
Bamboo dance show
(BEIJING, June 23) -- Beijing No. 80 Middle School played host to diplomatic envoys of over 20 countries to mark the International Olympic Day on Saturday.
The diplomats were brought to Chaoyang District, where many of the competition venues for the 2008 Olympic Games are located, to see the achievements of the Olympic education program. As local schools have strived to integrate Olympic knowledge into their curriculum, the students of all grades of the No. 80 School said they have learnt and are still learning a lot from their brand-new textbooks.
Foreign children joined their Chinese fellows at the school in a martial arts and bamboo dance show, while others walked on stilts or played diabolo.
The No. 80 School and 27 other schools in the district have entered an Olympic education partnership program with schools abroad with the help of the embassies of the countries involved.
Students walk on stilt.
