2016 - Year of the Monkey

For Chinese New Year, we learnt about the different animals that were used to represent the Chinese years, and how this is based on the lunar calendar.  Furthermore, we found out why red is the colour predominantly used, together with different ways in which they celebrate the new year such as cleaning their houses, setting off fireworks, decorating their houses with lights and hanging lanterns.  As a result, we completed a cityscape with the lanterns shown in the sky.  Have a look at some of the work we produced!
