Dear Parents of St. Catherine’s Grade 4 Students,
I am so excited to announce that students in the fourth
grade will have a special opportunity to visit Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in
early February. They will join a guided tour to explore the special exhibition:
Terracotta Army- Legacy of First Emperor of China.
The Terracotta Army is one of the most important
archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. This special exhibition in VMFA
assembles 10 Terracotta Army figures and an array of other artifacts from
around 210 BC. Our fourth graders are currently studying the history of the
First Emperor of China, as well as the universal Chinese writing system, which
was first adopted by his empire. This field trip will offer a wonderful
opportunity for students to witness the art and archaeology of ancient China.
The guided tour starts at 10 a.m. on Thursday, February 8th.
We will use school transportation to get to VMFA and will be off campus from
approximately 9:30-11:30 a.m. Please send your daughter to school on February 8th
dressed in her field trip attire, with a bag lunch to be eaten in the classroom
when we return to school. (If your daughter buys lunch from school, we will
have a bag lunch ready for her.)
Thank you for your support. I hope the visit to the
Terracotta Army exhibition will be a truly memorable experience for your
daughter!
Sincerely,
Kefu Dorion
LS Chinese Teacher
