Chinese New Year

The children have had great fun learning all about Chinese New Year and linking it to other areas of their learning. 

We used Chinese dragons and gold coins to solve addition problems. 

We wrote good fortune messages to hide inside our red envelopes and fortune cookies. 

We used the Chinese alphabet to address our envelopes to our friends and family. 

We practised writing Chinese numbers and used them to record our additions. 

We had fun tasting Chinese noodles, prawn crackers and fortune cookies! 

We listened to traditional Chinese music and used a range of instruments to make loud, quiet, fast and slow sounds. 

We even made our very own Chinese drums. 

We made blossom pictures and then concertinaed them to make Chinese fans.  

                               

                We built dragons using Lego, Octons and shapes. 

Can you remember how to say Happy New Year in Chinese?
