The Year of the Rooster. This week we learned about Chinese New Year and some of the traditions that people do to celebrate. Ask your child about it: cleaning house, getting hair cuts, giving and receiving red envelopes full of money, lion dances and what does the colour red mean? The children made lanterns with Chinese characters on them. They also did a lovely cherry blossom project. The students made dragon masks and we went on a parade through the school along with cymbals to chase away bad luck. We have some new food in our house centre too! Noodles, broccoli, dumplings, spring rolls, egg rolls and even chop sticks were there for the children to experiment with.
