Lunar New Year

Date: 31st Jan 2025 @ 4:06pm

This week, Year 1 have celebrated the Lunar New Year. We watched a video that explained how and why people celebrate the Lunar New Year and what animal represents the 2025 New Year- this year is the year of the snake! The children could then choose from a selection of activities to help us to celebrate. We made and decorated lanterns, practised writing Mandarin characters for the numbers, made snakes and coloured some posters. The children had a great time and asked for us to do the same next week! Since the Lunar New Year is celebrated over 15 days, they may have their wish granted! One child brought in some rice crackers and Chinese sweets for his class to share too!
