CHINESE NEW YEAR 2015

We were all dressed in red for the Chinese New Year Celebrations. Not only did we get to watch the lion and dragon dance but also perform a special Chinese dance. After this thanks to the organisation of the student council (which includes 2 of our students, Clay and Gaby) we played some fun games. Instead of pin the tail on the donkey it was changed to pin the tail on the goat. (new zodiac symbol for the year 2015.)

These are our artworks about Chinese Zodiac signs

We listened to a story about how the Chinese Zodiac signs were chosen. It all started when the emperor asked 12 animals to have a race to the palace. The tricky part was they had to cross a river. Who do you think would come first? Believe it or not it was the rat. He was clever enough to wait on the Ox's back and when it was time to get out the water the rat jumped up onto his head and then on the bank. The pig trailed the field. I wonder why? Please look at our images and writing to represent our own version of the story.
