# Learning about Chinese New Year

  ![Image of Learning about Chinese New Year ](https://files.schudio.com/st-bridget-s-catholic-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_6780.jpeg)  9 February 2024   [Mrs Palmer](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/author/npalmer)   [Reception](https://st-bridgets-pri.cumbria.sch.uk/blog/category/reception)

In Reception we were learning about Chinese New Year and that the symbol of the dragon was lucky. The children made their own moving dragons using a join fold. We learnt that if we were born in 2018 we were the year of the dog and if we were born in 2019 we were the year of the pig. We also learnt that the colour red was also lucky.
