According to the  Chinese  calendar, this is the year of the dragon!  Each year in the Chinese calendar is matched with an animal. Why a dragon?  Dragons appear in many Chinese legends.  They are powerful beasts!  One legend claimed that the dragon feared loud noises and the colour red.  The villagers hung up red decorations and banged drums and gongs.  The dragon ran away!  Now, the dragon appears in every Chinese New Year parade!  Our school’s dragon will dance and prance for the audience on, February 16th- at our Heritage Day assembly!  

Our classmates were born in the year of the Rooster (2005) or the year of the Dog   (2006)!

 

See our dragons!
