Chinese New Year Celebration
2024
Our West Spring family celebrated Chinese New Year on 9 February 2024.
The event was a fantastic showcase of Chinese culture, with a variety of activities that brought the festive spirit to life.
The highlight of the celebration was the mesmerizing lion dance and dragon dance performances by our West Springers. The rhythmic beats of drums and cymbals, combined with the graceful movements of the performers, created an unforgettable experience for everyone.
Our students also had the opportunity to watch a performance by our talented Wushu CCA students, where students showcased their martial arts skills with enthusiasm and passion.
To end off the celebrations at the parade square, the students and teachers came together to sing Chinese New Year songs. It was heartwarming to see everyone joining in and celebrating together.
After the parade square segment, students were engaged in various activities back in the classroom, where they created beautiful Chinese New Year decorations and crafts. These activities not only allowed them to be creative but also helped them learn more about Chinese culture and traditions.
We hope that all our West Springers have enjoyed the performances and activities during the celebrations.
Wishing everyone a blessed and prosperous lunar new year!
