In Nursery Class, we enjoyed learning about
Chinese New year.
We explored Chinese culture through active
role play; dressing up in traditional Chinese clothes, handing out red
envelopes to our friends and decorating our room with red and gold lanterns for
good luck and good fortune. We found China on the globe and discussed how we could travel there.
We used the musical instruments to join in with Chinese music and took
part in Chinese dragon dancing! We read
stories about the animals of the Chinese zodiac and about how children in China
celebrate Chinese New Year with their families.
We were so excited to try Chinese
food, talking about the different tastes, smells and textures. Some of us even tried to use chopsticks!
