Happy Chinese New Year!

Primary 3 have been enjoying learning about the story of Chinese New Year and discovering why the years are named after animals – ask us to share our learning at home!  We also watched a video that showed how children and their families might celebrate Chinese New Year, and enjoyed watching a dragon parade and learning about traditional celebrations.

Primary 3b then used lucky colours to design a Chinese New Year poster.  We had to include a picture to show it is the year of the monkey and some of us had a try at drawing a Chinese style monkey.  We listened to traditional Chinese music while we worked, and some of us described the music as “beautiful” – it was very relaxing and helped us work.
