Max class room was decorated with the symbols for the New Year; firecrackers, red lanterns and fish.The firecrackers and red colour is by legend said to scare off evil spirits. The fish is the symbol for good fortune. Only thing missing now is the dumplings……
Chinese New Year is also a time of giving. This is the school Giving Tree that shows the red envelopes with donations. The children got to decorate their envelope and hang them in the tree. The school sends their donation to a small foster home in Beijing and this year they raised over 6000 Yuan.
