As part of Fortis Trust’s ongoing partnership with Hebei International School Partnership (HBISP), two students and two staff members from Bradfields Academy have had the opportunity to visit China during the Easter Break.
Saturday
After landing in Beijing on Saturday, the staff and students wasted no time in taking in the local sites! They first visited the Olympic Village and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, due to high winds, all the tourist places were shut, so they missed out on some visits. They enjoyed the sights that they managed to see though, especially the old, beautiful buildings.
They then enjoyed a traditional Chinese lunch and went on a bullet train, which travelled at 200mph!
Their hotel was very comfortable, with a button that opened and closed the curtains!!!

Well done to everyone involved, we are so proud of your excellence of character, and are extremely pleased you enjoyed this cultural experience!
