我们返校啦！

正月十一，VPA学子们返校啦，新年的热闹也随之带进了校园里！

为迎接孩子们返校，VPA今日特地邀请了专业的舞狮舞龙团队。

舞狮，作为中国优秀的民间艺术，寄托着民众消灾除害、求吉纳福的美好意愿，因为狮子在人民心目中为瑞兽，象征着吉祥如意。

舞龙，源自古人对龙的崇拜，是喜庆节日的必备环节，以求得新的一年风调雨顺、五谷丰登。

在新年开学之际，我们通过精彩的传统表演，扬民族之威、立中国之魂，让孩子们切身感受到我们中华民族传统文化的魅力，也为全体师生及家长送上美好的新年祝福！

舞龙舞狮队还走入了校园，走进每个班级，给孩子们带来祝福和好运。

孔校长更是亲自在校门口迎接每一位孩子，将从香港VSA带来的特制福字贴分享给VPA的学生和家长。

First Day of School

Back to School!

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, VPA students returned to school, and brought the excitement of the New Year!

To welcome the children back to school, VPA invited a professional lion and dragon dance team.

Lion dance, a folk art in China, expresses the good will of the people to eliminate disasters and seek for good fortune, because the lion is an auspicious animal in Chinese culture, symbolizing good luck.

Dragon dance, originated from the worship of the dragon, is an essential part of the festival to pray for the good weathers and harvests.

At the beginning of the New Year, we would like to promote the prestige of the nation and establish the soul of China through these traditional performances for children to feel the charm of our traditional Chinese culture, while sending the best wishes to all the teachers, students and parents!

The dance team also walked into every classroom, bringing wishes and luck.

Dr. Koong welcomed every child at the front door andshared the special Fu stickers from Hong Kong VSA with VPA students and parents.

新春活动

老师们为孩子们精心准备了各式各样的新春活动，让他们感受到节日欢庆的同时，学习中国的传统文化。

写对联

贴福字

剪窗花

有的老师给孩子们发了红包，让他们把愿望和祝福都写在里面，最后贴在墙上，在接下来的日子里，再一一打开。

高年级的学生进行了新春诗歌誊写及创作。

低年级的学生则是在老师的带领下，制作了各种表达祝福和愿景的作品。

除了充满乐趣的动手活动，老师们还用双语教学让孩子们了解更多关于春节的习俗和意义，探索中国文化。

春节是中国文化中最隆重、最热闹的传统节日，象征着春天的到来，万物更新。春节的意义，不仅仅是欢庆、团圆，它还寄托着人们对幸福和希望的向往，以及承载着中华民族的文化。

春节，以其巨大的感染力和凝聚力深深融入每一位华夏子孙的生活中，我们也希望每一位VPA学子能将我们的传统文化传承下去，并且在新的一年学业有成、“兔”飞猛进！

Chinese New Year

Activities

Our teachers prepared various activities for children to feel the festival vibe while learning the traditional Chinese culture.

Couplets

"Fu"

Papercutting

Some teachers gave children red envelopes, asked them to write wishes and blessings in it, and posted on the wall.

Students in year 5 were asked totranscribe and compose New Year poems.

Year 1 students made different art works to send their wishes.

Besides the fun activities, teachers guided students to explore and learn about Chinese culture in two languages.

The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in Chinese culture, symbolizing the arrival of spring and the renewal of everything. The meaning of the Spring Festival is not only about celebration and reunion, it contains people"s yearning for happiness and hope.

We also hope that every VPA student can inherit our traditional culture, and achieve their own academic success in the new semester!
