Chinese New Year 2018 – Year of the Dog

On Wednesday 28 March, Our Lady’s High School celebrated Chinese New Year, a bit later than expected due to the snow!

Approximately 80 S1 and S3 pupils took part in a broad range of Chinese cultural activities such as ribbon dancing, tangrams, tea ceremony, Origami, checkers, chopsticks as well as biscuit decorating and calligraphy.

Each pupil sampled the broad spectrum of activities on offer spending time at each of the stations. All of the pupils who had attended the Edinburgh Zoo Confucius Classroom Open Day in February were leaders at each of the workshops demonstrating and modelling the activities to their peers.  Pupils had a wonderful morning with ribbon dancing, tea ceremony and biscuit making being a massive hit!! In addition, staff also celebrated Chinese New Year with a beautiful Chinese lunch served by our senior pupils! 新年快乐 / 新年快樂
