Nursery Celebrate Chinese New Year!

Friday 31 January 2014

Drums banged...bells jingled and a dragon roared on Friday afternoon as children from the nursery paraded along the corridors marking the Chinese holiday, which is traditionally celebrated at the turn of the Chinese calendar. Did you know that one in every six people in the world celebrate Chinese New Year? Customs vary in different parts of the world but everywhere the main idea is to remember family and wish everyone peace and prosperity in the coming year. The Chinese zodiac follows a twelve year cycle, each of the years being named after an animal. This year is the year of the horse.
