Chinese New Year

February 1st was Chinese New Year.

At Liberty as part of Motiv8 2, learners had to complete a candidate project. Black Owl’s group decided to plan, manage, complete and review a party for the Chinese New Year to celebrate Chinese culture. 

The learners researched about Chinese New Year to get some ideas, how Chinese New Year is celebrated, what their zodiac animal is and the story behind the chosen zodiac animals. 

The learners had to choose food that they would cook and created a menu for the college. They researched what ingredients they would need and went out to buy all the ingredients. 

They had to go into a few different places to ensure they got everything that was on the list. 

They also chose to make decorations and then decided together where and how they would decorate.

The learners made things like paper lanterns, hanging decorations, bunting and wall signs with Chinese writing.

The group cooked everything on this menu and even served the food to everyone who ate there.

Everyone loved the creations made and all agreed it was a great idea and was a great success.
