NZ winter Olympic Whakatauki

My inquiry group created a NZ winter Olympic whakatauki. We decided if we were the team captain of the NZ winter Olympic sports we would have chosen these meanings to it,  " just play, have fun, enjoy the game and have good sportsmanship"

How is Chinese New Year celebrated?

Chinese New Year is a celebration that is open to everyone. There is a street celebration when a dragon dances and Chinese fireworks light the sky. Elders hand out red cards to children and unmarried couples to wish them good luck. The Chinese New Year tradition is to wear red clothing with gold on it. People bring food to other families houses for supper. There is a zodiac cycle which has 12 animals and repeats every 12 years.

When Chinese New Year is celebrated everyone gathers together on the street or in their own home ready for Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year is celebrated all around the world. It is a special celebration for the Chinese people.

The Chinese people decorate their home or the town for  Chinese New Year. There are 12 selected animals. Every animal on the cycle has got a different meaning and year. This year is the year of the dog.

The Chinese New Year lasts for at least fifteen days, until the new moon ends. The full moon is fifteen days later, this year it will end on the 2nd of March. The Chinese people use fireworks, wear red and make noise to continue the the tradition of keeping the monster away.

The Chinese New Year is a very special celebration when everyone takes part in the festival. Chinese New Year is a very important traditional holiday for the Chinese people as they come together to wish each other Kung Hei Fat Choi!

For this week's learning we did a explanation about Chinese New Year. We learnt about the tradition and how people around the world celebrate it. During the tradition most people wear red. We now know more about the Chinese New Year because of our researching and learning.

I wondered if it would be a good day to play.

I heard screaming as it echoed down the street.

I heard the swing creek and it gave me goosebumps.

I felt the cool breeze running down my face like snow.

I felt the bark shifting against feet. I saw some kids playing.

I wondered if they would let me join in.
