6R showed the rest of the school what they have learnt about Chinese New Year on Friday 25th January.
It is celebrated this year on the 10th February.This year it is the year of the snake.
As the Chinese use the Lunar calendar for their festivals the date of Chinese New Year changes from year to year. The date corresponds to the new moon (black moon) in either late January or February. Traditionally celebrations last for fifteen days, ending on the date of the full moon. In China the public holiday lasts for three days and this is the biggest celebration of the year.
