Xinnian kuaile. To celebrate Chinese New Year on several occasions over the past weeks families of our Room 10 students have visited the classroom and shared aspects of Chinese culture with us. We learnt about the Chinese Zodiac, the art of paper cutting and folding, the custom of red pocket gifting, and heard the legend of Nian around which many of the Chinese New Year celebrations are centred. We also had a chance to draw a Chinese character using special calligraphy ink pens. We really enjoyed sharing some beautiful Chinese food and even made our own spring rolls! Thank you to the Lyu, Sun, Zhu, Zhao and Wu families for coming into Room 10 and generously sharing your culture with us.
