Celebrating Chinese New Year!

DRAGONS EVERYWHERE!
The children loved the magnificent dragon puppets in the parades we saw in the CBeebies video clips. They made some fantastic dragons themselves over the week!





Lots of sensory activities gave opportunities for stimulating discussion and new vocabulary.


The children practised their cutting skills a great deal this week as they made lanterns and dragon puppets. Great concentration!







We went into the hall and danced our dragons and played our instruments to the wonderful Chinese music.



We even tasted some delicious Chinese food!



It's been a great week, with the children talking so much about their experiences of this colourful and vivacious celebration of Chinese new year.
Happy Chinese New Year!
