Children in Oak Class at St Philip’s Marsh Nursery School have been exploring the wonderful celebration of Lunar New Year this month, learning about how it is marked in different places across the world.
It has been a brilliant opportunity for the children to discover new traditions, broaden their understanding of the world around them and celebrate the rich diversity of cultures within the nursery community and beyond. Learning about celebrations like Lunar New Year helps children develop a natural curiosity and respect for the ways in which different people mark special occasions.
These cultural explorations help children build awareness of global traditions, develop empathy and understanding of diverse communities, and celebrate the wonderful variety of ways people around the world mark important moments in their lives.
