Each class were fortunate to take part in an exciting Chinese dance workshop. During the session, pupils learned about Chinese New Year, which took place on 17 February, and explored some of the traditions associated with the celebration. The children discovered the story behind the first dragon dance and learned why masks and lanterns are an important part of the festivities. They then had the opportunity to try some traditional dance movements themselves, bringing the stories and traditions to life.
