Chinese New Year Day in school

It was our Chinese New Day in School today and the whole day was spent off curriculum.  We found out lots of information about what Chinese New Year actually means - please see individual class blogs for what was done in each class.

We were especially priviledged to have Mrs Leong, Elise and Carise Khoo's grandma (a teacher) visit us from Singapore to carry out an assembly for us.  We learnt all about what Chinese New Year means, what clothes are worn, what a 'reunion dinner' is' what gifts are given, some Chinese words to learn and we also had some Chinese food and tea to taste!
