Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, is a festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. It is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture, which was celebrated on 29th January as the Year of the Snake. The holiday has roots stretching back some 3,500 years to ancient China, signifying the end of winter and the arrival of a new year. 

Children in year 5 took part in a Chinese dragon workshop, learning new dance skills which they performed in an assembly.
