This month, BET students and staff have come together to celebrate Chinese New Year in a variety of creative and educational ways.
Teachers seized the opportunity to integrate lessons about Chinese culture, history, and traditions into the curriculum. From learning about traditional clothing to exploring Chinese cuisine and customs, students gained a deeper understanding of global cultures.
A number of schools including Bohunt Horsham, Bohunt School Liphook and The Petersfield School welcomed students from China for an immersion visit where they enjoyed lessons and cultural trips to gain a deeper understanding of life in the UK. Each visiting student was also given a buddy from a Bohunt Trust school to accompany them throughout their visit.
There were many chances for learning including assemblies about Chinese culture at TPS and Bohunt Horsham, a Chinese feast for Steyning boarders and students at Bohunt school Worthing performed at a Chinese New Year gala.
Head of Mandarin at The Petersfield School, Mr Zhang, said, ”I am so passionate about celebrating the Chinese New Year with our TPS students and colleagues throughout the week. It has been such a joy for me to see the enjoyment and happiness from everyone within the school community. The Year of Dragon features power, success and prosperity, and I sincerely wish that it brings lots of 好运 luck, 快乐 happiness and 成功 success to everyone.”
Well done to all our schools for such a brilliant series of celebrations.
