Today P7s had some very special visitors from the Confucius Society in the University of Ulster. Today is Chinese New Year, which the the children have been learning about as part of our Robert Hart and China.
We learned about the origins of Chinese New Year; the monster Nian. Some of the children got to dress up in a dragon costume and a panda costume. We learned how to say Hello and Happy New Year in Mandarin. We also listened to some beautiful music on traditional Chinese instruments - have a listen to the videos below. Finally, we were given individual mask packs so that each child could decorate their own mask! Everyone really enjoyed the morning!
