Nursery Host Country Week 2010
by Emma Mclean
1. Suggestions
1.1. Ideally should be fairly close to school and a short bus ride for Nursery students
1.2. Trips out that include lunch work well. Morning only would be too short
1.3. Re-think Aquarium because of distance but it was a great show and lots of wonderful exhibits. If it were a full day, I would do it again. Less than a full day is too rushed.
1.4. If it is a five day week, include at least one day at school not going out
2. Fun places for kids in Beijing
