The year 2025 marks the arrival of the Year of the Snake in the Chinese lunar calendar, a celebration rich in tradition, symbolism and deep meaning. At Scuola Vittoria, we celebrated this important anniversary with creative and cultural activities involving classes 4A and 4B of the primary school.
The students cutΒ and coloured beautiful paper snakes, a symbol of wisdom, cunning and transformation. This activity allowed them to explore the symbolism of the Year of the Snake and develop manual and artistic skills.
A big thank you to Mr Frascella, who shared with our students an in-depth presentation on Chinese New Year celebrations, illustrating the differences between ancient traditions and modern customs. He talked about superstitions related to the Lunar New Year, such as the meaning of colours, offerings and rituals to attract good luck and prosperity. The students actively participated, asking questions and deepening their knowledge of this fascinating culture.

In 4B, students Kilian and Leo gave a wonderful presentation on their Chinese origins, sharing personal stories and traditions with their classmates.
This day was a special opportunity to discover and appreciate the richness of Chinese culture, reinforcing the value of diversity and mutual understanding. Happy Year of the Snake to all! π ζ°εΉ΄εΏ«δΉ!
