In Reception we have been joining in with the festivities and celebrations of Chinese New Year. To welcome the year of the rabbit we have explored textures whilst making dragon masks and created a dragon dance in the playground.
We have also learnt the story of the 'Great Race' which explains the animal name given to each year in China. Can your child remember which animal came first in the race across the river? This story has helped us to learn ordinal numbers in maths.
After our Chinese dinner gave us a taste for their tasty cuisine we enjoyed trying other Chinese treats on Friday. I think egg fried rice was the favourite!
This week, we will be encouraging the children to have a go at making a brilliant puppet dragon, brought in by Sophie. In P.E. we will watching a lion dance before creating our own in groups to finish off our fun Chinese celebration.
Photos to follow!

Young Voices
Forty three children and five adults left Bardsey on Wednesday 25th January to arrive at Sheffield Arena for the Young Voices concert 2011. We were all incredibly excited and eager to sing all the songs we had been learning over the past few months.
We had lots of fun singing and dancing amongst hundreds of children, performing to a very large audience.
By the end of the day we were very tired but it was all worth it!
