Chinese New Year

This week we are celebrating Chinese New Year. We have read the story, found out lots of information and watched the parade.

We are enjoying tasting Chinese food too.

 

 

Can you tell your adult something about Chinese New Year? Maybe why red is a popular colour?

Breakfast Club - Smoothie Bike

Last week we had the use of a Smoothie Bike in our Breakfast Club. It was so much fun peddling to create our own smoothies. Here are just a few of the children who popped in to have a go... 

Chinese New Year!

We thoroughly enjoyed learning our Chinese dance! We learnt different movements and then performed to the rest of the class. Thank you again for your support with this activity.

Chinese Dancing

Green Class took part in a Chinese Dance Worksop. 

We had great fun!  

 

 

 

On Friday 16th February it will be The Chinese New Year.  Each new year is named after an animal.  The animals in order are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.  On Friday it will be the year of the Dog.

Chinese Dancing

Today we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to do some Chinese dancing. We had to dance with umbrellas and share with our partners. There were lots of steps to remember, but we all tried our best and helped each other.

"I thought the swaying was kind of hard" - Lucas

"I found it hard to hold the umbrella up and walk on our tiptoes" - Archie

"I liked the tiptoe part because it was fun and funny!" - Lilia

"It was so fun!" - Isobel

"I liked the part where we had to spin the umbrellas" - Louis

"I liked when we spun the umbrellas in front of us" - Jacob
