Lunar New Year - Primary & Secondary LOTE

LUNAR NEW YEAR

In the past, the LOTE Department of Collingwood College has been organising a Chinese Concert in the theatre during the festive period of Lunar New Year. However, due to reasons known to all, we have taken safe steps and opt to observe and celebrate this significant cultural event in a slightly different manner. A week leading to Lunar New Year, the LOTE team has conducted various Lunar New Year-related activities with our students in both Primary and Secondary schools and we have put together a video that showcases the beautiful Chinese traditions and the amazing engagement and effort from our students.

The video is UP on our School's Instagram Reels! Check it out at https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLK7i8hgBAp/?igshid=1dp4296gsrw1

Here are some sneak peeks into the fun we have had through the different streams and year levels:

Class 3 and 4: Learning and performing the song 新年好呀 (xin nian hao ya).

Reggio 3/4 A and B: Learning about 吉， and creating 大吉大利 posters.

Class 5C and 5D: Attempting one of the oldest Chinese art - paper-cutting.

Reggio 5/6A, 5/6B and 6C: Learning about how Lunar New Year is celebrated in China, the lucky food of the festival, and the well wishes. Students also create posters of the well-wishes in groups.
