Chuc Mung Nam Moi!

There was a rooster waiting to greet everyone in the Tu Xuong playground when everyone arrived at school this morning.  Our teaching assistants and guards had been working very hard to make sure everything was ready for our Tet Fair.

Tet celebrations began on Monday when EYFS parents were invited in to join their children in making a variety of Tet crafts, play games and enjoy a special treat – ice cream.  Thank you to all the parents who joined in the celebration.  You can find more great photos by following this link:

EYFS Tet Celebration

The foyer was busy all Tuesday morning, as each Milepost in turn came down to enjoy the Tet Fair.  Stalls gave the children the opportunity to make Lucky Envelopes, Tet Cards, bracelets and paint a conical hat and the games included bingo, rolling pomelos with a stick and trying to hit the basket (whilst wearing a blindfold).  Everybody had great fun and there was even a special treat hidden inside a Lucky Envelope – an ice-cream voucher.

Thank you to Ms Tu and her team who made this such a wonderful event.  To see more photos, please follow the link below:
