Save the Date: Pegasus International Preschool Open House
Ride into a fun time of exploratory learning this January at Pegasus International Preschool, where you can celebrate the Year of the Horse together with your littlies! This is THE invitation you’ve been waiting for. Save the date for their special Open House to learn about traditions and to celebrate CNY at Pegasus International Preschool.
At Pegasus, kids aged 18 months to 6 years old experience the joy of learning through a wide variety of hands-on experiences. Which is why the school has lined up loads of exciting, edu-centric activities for you and your tots. We got the scoop on the Open House programme, and here are the reasons why you must be there:
10.15am – Legends and myths
Curious to find out how Chinese New Year (CNY) became an annual celebration centuries ago? Catch an intriguing drama by the talented Pegasus folks to uncover the meaning behind long-held traditions, like why firecrackers are set off every year and why lion dances (which we find a tad scary) are such a regular fixture at CNY.
10.45am – Chinese drumming workshop
Have more fun with ways to make some noise and keep the Nian away with a dedicated luogu workshop for spirited little hands. Learn about Chinese rhythm and beats to ring in the festivities.
11.30am – Dragon dance
It’s time to get all loose and limber with your littlies! Show off your moves (and wow the other parents) in this fun dance segment, which will definitely help manage your hyperactive kid’s attention.
11.40am – Craftholics unite
Explore the activity booths in the school compound to your heart’s content. Let the kids create a calligraphy masterpiece, or paint their own lantern design. Keen to groom your youngsters into budding young chefs? Now’s your chance to help them create a well-loved Chinese dish (aka dumplings).
12.25pm – Prosperity lunch
Refuel your energy at the reunion lunch table, where everyone, whether young or old, can toss yusheng as high as they want to! Don’t miss out on the guided tour to get a first-hand look at the school’s facilities too.
So come on down to the Open House and discover a whole different side of Chinese New Year with Pegasus!
