Lunar New Year at Chesterton

Celebrating the year of the snake

Lunar New Year at Chesterton

9 Feb 2025
Pre-school and toddlers at Chestnut Nursery School Chesterton had a Lunar New Year celebration on Tuesday 28th January. The children came in red clothing as red is a lucky colour and associated with celebration in Chinese culture. They heard the story of Lunar New Year and then got a chance to join in with the dragon puppet and make it dance across the carpet.
 
The children listened and danced to some traditional music, and learnt lucky numbers in Mandarin and the British Sign Language to go with it. The children really enjoyed this and had a go at repeating the Mandarin words back.
 
In pre-school, the children explored the red envelopes that people give out for Lunar New Year. They then had the opportunity to fold up their own lucky red envelopes and got a special gold coin to put in it to take home.
