Chinese New Year

This week YR have been finding out all about Chinese New Year. On Monday we made some spring rolls and tried some noodles, which we all enjoyed. On Thursday we listened to some Chinese music, watched some clips of Dragon dances and then learnt a song and danced to the music too - a busy afternoon!
This week we have also been learning about shapes. We made some shapes using lollipop sticks, matchsticks and paper. We have also made some shape flap books where we had to think of a clue to describe a shape.
All the teachers have been really impressed with all the things that the children have been bringing in to share about Chinese New Year. Thank you for the fantastic response.
Have a great half term.
