Today the staff and children from Shotley Bridge Nursery School visited The Pavilion at Iveston to celebrate Chinese New Year. It was a brilliant opportunity for the children to experience some Chinese food and learn about a different cultural celebration. They had made a traditional dragon-lion and performed a lion dance for staff at the restaurant. The Pavilion very kindly organized a room for the children to sample some traditional Chinese cuisine and they received miniature gold and red sheep as a gift to recognize the year of the sheep. The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and exchanged red envelopes with staff – a traditional custom at this time of year. We wish to thank the staff at The Pavilion for their hospitality and wish them a happy and prosperous new year!
