In Ravenswell we are working towards our Yellow Diversity Flag, and as part of this, we are celebrating the wide variety of cultures in our school and our local community.
In February we all celebrated Chinese New Year. It was a very exciting two weeks around the school. All our pupils learned lots of information about the country of China, the Chinese people and the Chinese culture. In particular, we learned about the history and the traditions surrounding the Chinese New Year festival.
Our school was filled with displays of Chinese arts and crafts and our writing about China. We were delighted with how it turned out. Every class contributed some of their art work to make a wonderful Chinese New Year display in the reception area. We hope you have enjoyed looking at our work. Here are some pictures of the displays that were up around the school.
We were also very lucky to have a visit from Master Yang Dong. He came to the school to give us a display of T'ai Chi and Kung Fu. All the children from Junior Infants to Second Class went down to the hall for the demonstration. We had such fun. His demonstration was amazing, but the best part was when he invited everyone to join in. He showed us some kung fu positions and we all tried to copy him. It was brilliant. Here are some of the photos of us doing our kung fu moves.
