Celebrate Chinese New Year with Temple Fairs!

With the Chinese New Year festival approaching, the whole school is soaking in a joyful atmosphere. This year, we celebrate the lunar new year with a traditional form of gathering called Miao Hui, also known as the Temple Fair.

Early Years

The youngest learners celebrated the Chinese New Year on Jan 27th. The celebration started in the PAC, which impressed us at the very beginning when the Chinese hostess spoke in English while the American host spoke in Chinese.

After the performance, the long-expected Temple Fair started! Different booths presenting Chinese folk cultures were apparently attractive to our curious minds.

Due to the pandemic control policies, parents were not able to enjoy the day with their children. The whole event also went on a live streaming.

Elementary and Secondary School

The elementary and secondary students celebrated the festival on Jan 28th. The Temple Fairs were held by students from G7 to G12, while students from KG to G6 visited each booth to experience the traditional Chinese culture as well as the customs of Korean and Japanese new year.

The senior students made lots of research and study before the fair and well delivered the festival culture to their younger buddies through fun interactions.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

As an IB continuum school, we value and respect the culture backgrounds of all our students. We are honored to host the Chinese New Year Temple Fair and celebrate the festival! Happy Chinese New Year!

We hope all members of our community enjoy a happy festival. During the break, BIS has several suggestions for our parents and students.

Make a Schedule

First of all, please regard the holiday as an opportunity for students to discover and create. We strongly suggest that parents work with the students at the beginning of the holiday to make a schedule, inspiring the students to achieve self-improvement in different aspects during the holiday.

Communication

Secondly, make the holiday a time for family and companion. Pay more time for family communication, get to understand more about each other and create a harmonious family atmosphere.

Keep Safe and Healthy

Thirdly, stay safe and healthy. Make sure you are in a safe environment while doing sports, especially appropriate safety facilities and rescue personnel while swimming. Avoid playing near traffic and be careful when crossing the road. Keep yourself happy and find a right balance in your holiday.
