The Chinese New Year was celebrated in style at Plymouth College with a colourful lantern procession.
Made during Art Extra, the after-school art club run by teacher Dana Roberts, the lanterns were made from natural willow and covered in ‘wet strength’ tissue paper. They were lit with LED lights.
Lantern-makers from across the year groups were joined in the procession around the school grounds by Chinese students who were celebrating the year of the ox – one particularly impressive lantern was even shaped as an ox! Other participants helped the procession on its way with the beat from a number of wooden and metal instruments.
