Primary 3 – Chinese Lantern Festival!

Primary 3 have been learning all about China!
Last week we learned  lots about the Chinese Lantern Festival which happens on the final day of the Chinese New Year celebration (Day 15)! We found out that people in China visit the lantern festival to enjoy the amazing lantern display which often has lanterns shaped like the animal of the Chinese Zodiac from that year! This year is the year of the rat.

Last week we made our own lanterns, we worked so hard to shade these with pastels making sure our patterns were symmetrical. Look how hard we worked…

We also found out about the Lantern Riddle Game. This is when riddles are attached to the lanterns for both children and adults to guess. If the riddles are guessed correctly the person who solves it would win a prize.  Primary 3 were able to guess the answer to 2/4 Chinese Riddles! Great job!
