Our last week - have a great half term!

Wow, what an amazing, busy last week we had! We spent the last week celebrating Chinese New Year! In English we learnt about the Chinese New Year traditional tale. We discovered that the story was about animals that raced each other to win the Chinese Emperors' favour and also the honour of having the next year named after them! The children really enjoyed learning about this story - ask them who won the race in the end! You can also find out whose animal year it was when your child was born, together!

For our topic lesson, we have been discovering more about Chinese culture by trying some of their traditional food. The children got to try noodles and prawn crackers, then then they used Rainbow Talk to describe the food. We had some fabulous ideas about what the food looks like!

Tuesday was Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day as it is also known. We had ready made pancakes and the children got to choose a filling. They were very excited to choose from fresh fruits, sauces and the more traditional option of squeezed lemon!

I hope you have a lovely relaxing time during the holiday, returning refreshed and ready for a new half term!
