Happy New Year – 2018 – Year of the Dog

As part of our Festivals and celebrations topic we investigated some of the traditions of Chinese New Year.  We discussed the similarities and differences to some of the celebrations we have in Scotland and with our families.

We enjoyed the story of Chinese New Year and why the celebrations include fire, loud noises and the colour red.
