Chinese New Year
'Gong Xi Fa Cai'
Celebrating
festivals is an integral part of learning and building a strong cultural belief
in a child. Witty kids encourages students to take part in a wide range of cultural
and religious festivals that take place throughout the year.
Wittians
celebrated Chinese New Year on 4th February 2019. Chinese
New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is the main Chinese festival of
the year. The festival celebrates the start of
new life and the season of ploughing and sowing. Red the
traditional colour that represents joy and happiness is used for just about
everything during the celebration. Lion and dragon dances are common during the Chinese New Year as
it is believed that the loud drumming and clashing of cymbals will chase away
bad luck and evil spirits.
On the day of
celebration, students learned about the twelve Zodiac signs and enjoyed
making Dragon Puppets.
Through these activities, the school
hopes that students appreciate the Chinese traditions when they celebrate this
special day with their family members & relatives.
