Happy Chinese New Year!

In Year R we have been learning about how some people celebrate Chinese New Year. We have been acting-out the story using masks and sharing the films with our friends. We have been painting pandas, the Chinese flag, the Great Wall of China and dragons. For dance this week we used scarves to pretend we were dragons and made up our own special dance! We looked at globes to explore the different countries around the world. In maths we used coins to pay for items from the Chinese shop. We also explored what would happen if we continued to cut an oblong-shaped Chinese money bag (pretend) in half. We predicted that the size and shape would change as we went, we were right! We wrote postcards to tell our friends and family what we saw in China. What fun!
