Nowruz Mabarek! Happy New Year in Iran (Persia). Nowruz marks the spring equinox, when night and day are of equal length and the arrival of spring as a victory over darkness.
Class 6 recognised the Iranian New Year by setting a Haft-sin table. The traditional Haft-sin translates to “seven S’s”. It is an arrangement of seven items that all begin with the letter S in Farsi (the Persian language). There are also other items placed on the Haft-sin, each item carries a symbolic meaning for the new year.
