Yesterday, P3/2 celebrated Chinese New Year and the Year of the Monkey! We learned about the customs and traditions Chinese people have at New Year and why they are important. We learned that Chinese people believe red is a very lucky colour, and that sometimes children are given money in a special red envelope to celebrate new year. We looked back to see which year we were born in – most of us were born in the Year of the Rat and the Year of the Ox!  We also found out that Beijing is the capital city, and that they have special parades with a Chinese dragon. Have a look at some we made ourselves! Gung Hay Fat Choy!
