Receive Praise the Lord! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Psalm 150, verses 3 to 6

Engage On Saturday 28th January 2017 people from many parts of the world celebrated Chinese New Year (the first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between 21 January and 20 February). Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely. Often, the evening preceding Chinese New Year's Day is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly cleanse the house, in order to sweep away any ill-fortune and to make way for good incoming luck.

Engage Some discussion ideas … If you were an animal what animal would you be and why? What are your family traditions for celebrating New Year? New Year is just a human-made date, why do people celebrate New Year? Activity suggestion … Create a colourful ‘New Year’ banner for your classroom. Video suggestion … London prepares for Chinese New Year 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf0cIe4InDc
