Our theme this week is... Chinese New Year!
This week we have been thinking all about Chinese New Year! We started the week by talking about how in early february, Chinese people celebrate their new year, we watched a video about how the different years are names after animals. This year is the year of the Monkey! To celebrate chinese new year we have made lots of fun and interesting things that follow chinese traditions. We have made dragon puppets using card and tissue paper for a colage effect, We have also enjoyed colouring in chinese lanterns!
In cooking this week we have made some delicious egg fried rice! We used rice, egg, peas and sweetcorn! It was delicious!
Our role play area has been
filled with lots of interesting
chinese cutlery, such as
chopsticks and chinese bowls
for rice! We have enjoyed
thinking about delicious chinese
foods that we would be eating
using these chopsticks!
