The Chinese Lunar New Year began on January 23 and we were fortunate at Battersea Park School to celebrate it with a special performance. The team of performers was sent by the Confucius Institute and they came from Heilongjiang University for Chinese Medicine. The performance was mainly based on Chinese martial arts, traditional dance, folk dance and musical instruments. This was held in the Main Hall in front of an audience made of Year 7 and Year 8 students. Students loved the interaction with the performers and we were all captivated by the tai chi and kung fu demonstrations, live music and dance performances.
Xin nian yu kuai! (Happy New Year!)
