Chinese New Year - Year 6

Lesson: Art and design

Class: Year 6 Year: 2021 - 2022

Year 6 decided to make their own 'lucky' fishes to celebrate Chinese New Year - This year is the year of the tiger!

The fish has a symbolic meaning for the Chinese people, particularly when celebrating Chinese New Year. The Arowana Fish also known as the Dragon Fish is believed to have descended from a mythical dragon and have the power to bring happiness and prosperity. It is also traditional to serve fish at the end of the New Years evening meal, due to its name sounding similar to the words 'wish' and 'abundance' in the Chinese language.
