What a wonderful and busy week we have had celebrating Chinese New Year. We used brightly coloured paints and glitter to make fans and lanterns. We then went into the Sports Hall for a Whole School Celebration. There was tasting of foods, a Dragon Dance and lovely songs which we had been learning previously. The children were amazing throughout.

In Food Technology we explored different Chinese foods and loved using chopsticks and giant tweezers to eat the noodles.

On Friday the children had the opportunity to get involved in a beautiful Chinese New year Sensory Story. They were immersed in smells, sights and sounds relating to the theme. Next week we will video it and put it on the Blog.

We have developed an Asian Bistro in our classroom. It’s a wonderful place to go and explore different foods. We are also getting really good at using chopsticks.

Have a good weekend.
