Chinese New Year celebrations start today
I have put up a display in the entrance area at school
I hung some lanterns
And displayed lots of red and gold items – the traditional colours of good luck in China. Plus a free calendar from the local takeaway!
I also found lots of toy animals representing the different years
Which year are you? Is the analysis of your character accurate?
I don’t think mine is particularly correct!!
Fortunately I don’t set much store by this sort of thing!
But anyway…
Gong Xi Fa Cai
which means
Happy New Year
Good at talking and writing, for me. Spooky..! But I don't set too much by it either, so there you go! Lovely display - we are going to have an easy Chinese meal (pr-ebought from our supermarket I'm afraid) to make up for the hours I spent over the Chandeleur galttes and crèpes yesterday! Too many good things all at once!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks very bright and interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful dispplay
ReplyDeleteI'm a dragon, which is to say healthy and full of energy. Well, I am generally healthy, and often full of energy, but I do like to sneak in a nap now and again. Do dragons nap?
ReplyDeleteFun! And your display is lovely!

According to the chart, I am a tiger married to a pig....surprising that mix would work (says hungry tiger)!

Apparently I'm a rabbit - who knew! This says I'm lucky - I guess that's up for interpretation!
ReplyDeleteWow I like the display!
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated to hear what animals you are - esp Jane and Chris!!
