Last Friday the 2nd of March, we celebrated Chinese New Year! In the morning we went to the basketball court. When we got there, our buddies came and sat with us. Our buddy grade is 4M. After our buddy grade arrived, the extension Mandarin students went to the front of the basketball court and did some singing and dancing.

After that the Chinese dragon came and danced around the basketball court. The dragon was a really quick dancer.

Finally,the parade started and the grades walked around the basketball court. It was AMAZING! Our grade made Dog Lanterns because it is the Year of the Dog and we all dressed in red clothes. I was wearing a red dress.

Then we went back to class and a special visitor came and she helped us to make bookmarks. We also go to take our lanterns home.

I felt really happy about my day. The Chinese New Year Festival was fantastic! When I got home I even told my parents about how fantastic my day was, and my parents loved that I told them all the details of my day. When I went to bed that night I dreamed about doing it again!
