Chinese Week @ POWIIS

POWIIS’ very own Chinese Week started with a bang as the Chinese New Year assembly presented performances by a host of seasoned and new performers alike. The audience certainly enjoyed the show as the students put their heart into dancing, singing and acting. The assembly managed to embody the festive essence of the new lunar year, with each performance having some significance to ushering in the new year.

The following week saw the students really get into the festivities as they took part in various activities that involved them making lanterns, practicing their calligraphy skills, trying their hand at Chinese Chess and participating in the Chinese New Year quiz. The quiz featured questions on Chinese traditions, language and general knowledge and were creatively hung from the lanterns.

The lanterns made by the students and the Parent Teacher Committee were then hung up along the hallways, lending a festive vibe to the school. The decorations proved to be very popular amongst the students as they crowded the hallways to take photographs and try to guess the answers to the Chinese New Year quiz questions!
