  • 新年好 Happy Lunar New Year

    Published 24/01/23

    Carrying on with our journey around the world, this week Reception visited China and celebrated Lunar New Year. We learnt about the festival and how it is celebrated. We then made our own dragon puppets. In the Chinese culture, the dragon represents good luck, strength, and health.
