Chinese New Year
This week we have been learning about Chinese New Year. We started the week with reading activities to help us find out about how it is celebrated.
We found out that Chinese New Year is at the end of January or beginning of Februrary when there is a new moon. People decorate their houses and have special meals to celebrate.
We were really lucky on Wednesday, a dance teacher came to teach us a Chinese parasol dance.
Watch out for our video!
Making money envelopes
Building Chinese structures from photographs
Chinese tangrams
On Thursday we had a special creative carousel
Kung Fu
Some teachers came in to teach us Kung Fu! It was great fun!
We have also made Chinese lanterns, found out how to write our name in Chinese and acted out the story of the Chinese Zodiac!
