Since coming back to school we have been exploring our new topic ‘Asia’. As part of our Topic we have been exploring everything related to Chinese New Year. This has included messy art, messy play, food exploration and music.

On Tuesday we had a whole school assembly to celebrate. We could smell all the lovely food cooking, listened to the music, dancing and watched our friends singing ‘Gung Hey Fat Choi’.

We have also enjoyed our messy play sensory sessions. We have explored different textures, boiled rice, dry rice, noodles, chopsticks and listening to Chinese music during spa and relaxation.

Our sensory story has allowed us to use all our senses to experience Chinese New Year. We listened to the music, watched the dragon dance and smell the incense burning, not forgetting the party cannon and lanterns to finish off!
