The main festivities in London take place in Central London (in China Town and West end) on 14 January. Remember that red is the colour of the Chinese New Year, then you should wear a red jumper or a red scarf which bring you good luck for the New Year. Don't forget to buy something red for you of for your house either. This year is the year of the monkey. When will it be again?

Most of my  Year 6 students were born in 2004, so they were born in the Year of the Monkey. People born in this year are gentle, honest and have a long love life. However, they also have some shortcomings such as a impetuous temper and a tendency to look down upon others.
