Wellington College Tianjin Celebrates the Chinese New Year
As the Year of the Tiger approaches, the whole country is looking forward to the celebrations of the Chinese New Year. And none more so than those from the Wellington community who have been involved in a series of activities related for the Chinese New Year. As the festival is just around the corner, everyone is looking ahead to what the Year of the Tiger will bring.
January 10th, 2022 was the 8th day of the twelfth month in the lunar calendar, an important day before the Chinese New Year. On that day, the outbreak of the epidemic hit the city. However, the situation could not stop the city nor the College from celebrating the Chinese New Year. Traditional decorations were placed around the city, reminding people that New Year was fast approaching. Here at Wellington, the pupils and teachers adapted to e-learning in a very short time. The teachers worked together to provide high-quality education, whilst also preparing various activities related to the New Year. In this cold season, the camaraderie between staff made all of us feel warmhearted.
Pupils in the Nest took to online learning with ease with parents and teachers working together to encourage and help pupils during this period. As Chinese New Year was fast approaching, teachers organised and presented various activities to celebrate the upcoming festival, from traditional customs and stories, to songs and handicrafts all making their way into our e-learning curriculum. Pupils and parents were encouraged to keep to a regular schedule to help with their wellbeing during this time. Our pupils adapted well and had a great deal of fun in the process. The highlight for many was participating in the Chinese New Year video, using the words and language they had learned about Chinese New Year.
The Wellington community worked together, prepared and contributed to the safety and wellbeing of our pupils, parents and teachers. We wish you all a wonderful, peaceful and healthy Chinese New Year.
