As part of our Mandarin music lessons this term. Year 3 were very lucky to learn about the Luna New Year from our Mandarin teachers.

We found out about how important the New Year is and how this special time is spent with families. We discovered the importance of red envelopes and how these are given to younger members of the family with a wish for health for the coming year, as well as containing money.

We also discovered how houses are decorated with lots of red decorations and lanterns and the types of food that are eaten. lots of families spend time making dumplings together before they have their special family feasts.

We were excited to find out that lots of us were born in the year of the Rooster. Did you know this year is the year of the snake?
