Chinese New Year Celebration

Yangzheng Primary School ushered in the Year of the Ox with a host of festivities on 11th February. In light of the COVID- 19 situation, this year’s celebration took place in the form of a virtual concert.

To kick-start the celebrations, students were engaged in pre-concert classroom activities. They learnt about the Chinese custom associated with Chinese New Year and had a hands-on session making Chinese Knots “如意结” in the class. It was great joy to see pupils of different races, coming together to understand Chinese culture and traditions.

Our Principal, Mrs Lim-Foo visited the P6 classes with our Yangzheng “God of Wealth”. Mrs Lim-Foo sent her couplet of good luck to each P6 class and fortune cookies to all P6 pupils. This is to wish our graduating cohort all the very best for their PSLE.

Giving mandarin oranges signifies blessing of prosperity upon the recipient. Here’s our school leaders giving the staff a pair of mandarin oranges as part of the Chinese tradition.

After the pre-concert segment, we started the virtual concert with a pre-recorded lion dance performance. Students were thrilled by the amazing footwork of our Yeung Ching Scouts Lion Dance Troupe as they set everyone’s hearts palpitating with excitement.
