Whole School Assembly - Chinese New Year
This morning Mrs Atkinson talked to the children about Chinese New Year, which will be celebrated this Wednesday. On Tuesday, those who are celebrating Chinese New Year will enjoy a New Year’s Eve feast! On the day itself, people wear brand new outfits and receive gifts in red envelopes. Did you know it isn’t just for one day? The Chinese New Year is celebrated for several days with lots of special things happening - on day 15 lots of colourful lanterns are hung up with riddles inside them. If you solve the riddle you may receive a prize from the owner.
Mrs Atkinson also shared a story that introduced and explained the different animals from the zodiac wheel which the Chinese name their years after.
