Topics covered in this post:
1. Lunar New Year
Lunar New Year begins on Sunday, January 22. Throughout next week, each class will celebrate and learn about this joyous festival celebrated in many Asian countries. The colour red is associated with celebrating Lunar New Year and we encourage students to wear red throughout the week particularly on Friday, January 27 as a school wide community.
At the JICS Lab School, we are so fortunate to have families from diverse backgrounds. If you celebrate Lunar New Year, please enrich our learning by sharing your culture. Don't hesitate to get in touch with your child's teachers.
