My sixth grade at Nord Anglia Shanghai broadened my horizons through hands-on learning. In art class, I explored painting and sculpture while analyzing different art styles. History lessons became interactive through role-playing activities. The design technology course took me from 3D modeling to building real prototypes, while science labs allowed me to conduct experiments on topics like renewable energy. This year strengthened my practical skills and ability to connect knowledge across subjects in both English and Chinese. This year is my first year in a boarding school, learning to live with mate in a disciplinary boarding environment.
