Gung Hay Fat Choy. 2023 is the year of the Rabbit.

This week in class, we have been celebrating the Chinese New Year. We started the week with a Chinese music session. The children loved listening to and dancing to Chinese music, as well as dressing up in traditional Chinese clothing and playing with some lucky drums and other instruments. Also, we enjoyed a lovely story “The Chinese New Year”, all about the Jade Emperor and how he chose the 12 animals for the signs of the Chinese Zodiac. Our children listened to the story and looked at the different animal masks. To end the celebrations we had a whole school assembly where the children had smells and tastes of traditional Chinese food. Also, there was a lovely colourful Chinese dragon, with traditional Chinese music, and the children all danced and sang along.
