Bhí muid ag ceiliúradh an bhliain Nua Síneach agus ag foghlaim faoin gceiliúradh a bhíonn acu sa tSín . D’foghlaim muid faoi scéalta ón tSín áit go gcreidtear go raibh dragún darbh ainm Nian agus gur tháinig sé gach bliain chun faitíos a chuir ar na daoine .Tar éis tamaill ,fuair na daoine amach go raibh faitíos ar Nian roimh an dath dearg chomh maith le torann ard. D’úsáid siad iad seo chun ruaig a chuir ar an dragún. Is mar geall ar seo a bhíonn an dath dearg le feiceáil i ngach áit i rith na bliana nua Síneach. Is deá chomhra é an dath dearg sa chultúr Síneach. Bhí seans againn cleachtadh a dhéanamh ar scríbhneoireacht ón tSín agus cur síos a dhéanamh orainn féin i bhfocail Síneach . Rinne muid dragún mór sa rang le haghaidh na bliana nua Síneach. Bhain na páistí an-sult as an gceiliúradh!
In class we celebrated the Chinese New Year. We learned about the origins of the festival. The story was a about a dragon called Nian. According to folklore,Nian came each year to scare the people but the people discovered that the dragon was afraid of the colour red as well as loud noises. This is one of the reasons that the colour red is used during the Chinese New Year,also in the Chinese culture the colour red is a symbol of good luck .We had a chance in class to practise Chinese writing and we picked out different words to describe ourselves. We made a dragon in class for the Chinese New Year. The pupils enjoyed the celebrations!
