Chinese New Year

Today we have been learning and celebrating Chinese New Year. We enjoyed a food tasting snack this morning, trying lots of yummy foods, such as, rice, noodles, prawn crackers and some sweet chilli sauce for dipping. All the children did well at trying some new foods, with some eating seconds!! 

Afterwards we went outside to do some Chinese dancing and made ourselves into a real dragon using masks and an old parachute to cover us.

At story time, we learnt the tale of the 12 signs of the zodiac and the meaning behind it. We were able to recall and retell the story, remembering the key events that happened. We also found out what our own sign of the zodiac was and that this year is the year of the pig.
