On the eve of the Chinese New Year, The Year of the Snake, our nursery pupils were visited by teachers and performers from the Confucius Institute based at The Ulster University. They enjoyed listening to stories about their traditions as well as some Chinese opera singing, performed live. The children loved watching the traditional Chinese dancers.

Pupils relished the opportunity to perform the ribbon dance, known as the ‘Dunhuang Dance.’ A wonderful celebration of culture.
