🌟 What the children experienced

• They learned simple traditional dance steps inspired by the Dragon Dance.

• They listened to music linked to the celebrations and moved in time to the rhythms.

• They practised working together as a team, taking turns and following instructions.

🧧 Why this celebration matters

Chinese New Year is a time of joy, hope, and community. By taking part in the workshop, children developed:

• Cultural awareness and appreciation of global celebrations

• Physical confidence through expressive movement

• Language skills as they learned new words and ideas

• Social skills through shared activities and group dances

The children were enthusiastic, curious, and full of smiles throughout the session. It was a wonderful way to mark the start of the new lunar year and deepen their understanding of the world around them.
