In Lower School Mandarin classes we had a fantastic time celebrating the Chinese New Year, the biggest holiday in Chinese culture! We dove into many fun activities to learn about this festive occasion and the twelve zodiac animals.

We explored all the delicious foods people enjoy during the celebration and even talked about the beautiful clothes worn for the festivities. Our creativity was fully displayed as we made snake paper crafts and dragon dance crafts. Plus, we had a blast using clay and Play-Doh to shape dumplings!

The absolute highlight was when the students received red envelopes, a special Chinese New Year tradition. Everyone was so excited! What a fantastic way to celebrate together!
