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.
