Chinese New Year is a time of joy, tradition, and cultural celebration, and our school embraced the festive spirit with a series of exciting activities that brought students, parents, and staff together. From CNY2024s during our morning assemblies to creative arts and crafts, our school was a hub of vibrant energy during this auspicious time.
During the morning assemblies held on Monday 5th February, Tuesday 6th February, and Wednesday 7th February, our talented students took center stage to showcase their talents and kick off the celebrations. Parents and staff were treated to a delightful array of songs and poetry performances, each one reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Chinese traditions.
In the weeks leading up to Chinese New Year, our students immersed themselves in various arts and crafts activities, igniting their creativity and fostering a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. Participating in activities such as Chinese calligraphy, our young artists enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to explore traditional techniques and express their artistic flair. Classrooms and corridors also came alive with vibrant decorations, showcasing the students’ handcrafted paper dragons and paper cuttings. The colourful displays not only added a festive touch to our surroundings but also served as a reminder of the significance of the Chinese New Year.
Beyond the artistic endeavors, our students actively engaged in learning about Chinese customs and traditions. Teachers incorporated lessons and discussions on the history and symbolism of Chinese New Year into their curriculum, allowing students to deepen their cultural knowledge and appreciation.
As we reflect on the vibrant activities and the spirit of togetherness that enveloped our school during Chinese New Year, we are reminded of the invaluable opportunity it offered to foster cultural understanding, appreciation, and unity among our students and their families. These celebrations not only enriched our learning environment but also nurtured a sense of pride and respect for the diverse traditions that make our school community so unique.
As we welcome the Year of the Dragon, let us carry the warmth and spirit of Chinese New Year throughout the year, embracing the values of unity, harmony, and cultural diversity that define our school community.
