Plymouth College celebrated the Chinese New Year in style with a colourful lantern procession around the school grounds. The lanterns were made in after school club, Art Extra.
To honour the Year of the Rabbit, pupils and staff created two large rabbits from willow rods covered with coloured tissue paper. The procession also included two carrot lanterns and a series of red lanterns with New Year wishes written in Chinese.
As well as members of Art Extra, the procession was joined by some of the school's Chinese students, who played percussion instruments and 'Chinese bells' throughout the event. The procession culminated in a crescendo in the school library, where lanterns from previous Chinese New Years are on display.
"The lanterns this year were very colourful and the carrots were particularly fun to make", said art teacher, Dana Roberts. "The procession was really lively and it was great to see so many pupils get involved."
