Chinese New Year

Reception have had a wonderful time exploring the festival of Chinese New Year. We have spent the entire week learning all about the Great Race, and how this is the Year of the Rabbit. We also explored how people prepare and celebrate Chinese New Year and the wonderful Chinese Dragon parade. We made a variety of Chinese New Year decorations, including fans, lanterns and dragon masks. We also used our funky fingers this week, using chopsticks to pick up objects and noodles! Our celebrations led up to our very own Chinses Dragon parade around school, were we made the Dragon move to the music and enjoyed a very yummy Chinese banquet, tasting a variety of different foods. It has been a fantastic week of learning! Kung Hei Fat Choi!
