Gong Hey Fat Choy!

We have been learning about how some people celebrate Chinese New Year. We have been trying on traditional Chinese clothing and pretending to have a special Chinese meal in a restaurant. We have been making dragons and fans using our fine motor skills and have been reading a story called, "Ling Ling Goes to China". We wrote postcards to tell people about what we would like to see if we went to China. In dance class we pretended to be dragons and used large scarves to fly around the hall with traditional Chinese music playing. In maths we had to problem-solve ways to share a Chinese Moon Cake with friends and noticed that the circular Moon Cake changed shape as we continued to cut it in half, eventually transforming into a very small triangle-like shape!

Happy Chinese New Year from Year R!
