Kung Hei Fat Choy! (Happy new year)
Reception have been learning all about Chinese New Year. They tasted a range of foods such as: noodles, prawn crackers, sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce and rice. We really enjoyed singing our happy new year song in a different language and we made dancing ribbons to perform a celebration in the hall. They wrote about the year in which they were born from the Chinese zodiac calendar. The children learnt they were either born in the year of the snake or horse. We enjoyed learning how to paint different Chinese symbols to represent animals and numbers. We then used these to make lucky money envelopes.
