We have been very lucky in Room 8 today as we have had some special visitors come into school to help explain the meaning behind Chinese New Year.

We have learnt all about the story of Chinese New Year and which animals are involved in this special occasion. This year, it’s the year of the Pig.

We made paper lanterns which are used in China to scare off the terrible beast which roams around the country on New Year’s Eve. Some of us even dressed as a dragon!
