新年快乐, 龙年大吉！

From everyone at SCEN, we wish you a Happy Chinese New Year! We look forward to announcing some exciting SCEN events during this Year of the Dragon.

The British Council has released its Year of the Dragon education pack for primary schools, containing teaching resources and activities to help teachers and pupils learn more about this important spring festival and explore Chinese language and culture.

“Your pupils can read a traditional Chinese tale which explains the origin of four Chinese rivers, practice vocabulary and calligraphy linked to the weather and get creative making amazing dragon puppets and designs for long scrolls and ceramics. They can also learn how to spot an Imperial dragon and celebrate the New Year festival by making a delicious stir-fry dish called Wandering Dragon.”
