F2 had a wonderful time celebrating and learning all about the Lunar New Year!

We arrived to school wearing the lucky colour red and learnt that this year is the year of the snake!

We read the old traditional Chinese story of ‘The Great Race’ and how people all over the world celebrate the Lunar New Year with traditional festivities!

We had a marvelous time exploring traditional Chinese dancing and music and made our own decorations- lantern making and mark making Chinese symbols!

It was a great day for keeping our fingers busy as we practiced our cutting skills and eating with chopsticks at the lucky red Chinese cafe! Here we tasted some yummy traditional Chinese food which allowed us to use our senses to smell, touch and taste a variety of culinary delights- noodles, prawn crackers, fortune cookies, rice and sweet chilli sauce!
