Chinese New Year! (January 2022)

"Gong hei fat choy' or 'Happy Chinese New year!'. Today we began our Chinese New Year celebrations. As this is the year of the tiger, we used one of our favourite stories to enhance our tuff tray .. 'The tiger that came to tea.' We have already had so much fun and the fun will continue all week. The children have took on roles in our Chinese restaurant ; taking orders and cooking food or being the customer and ordering food from the menu. We have also been finding out about fortune cookies and extending our exploration in our play dough station making our own today. We have been watching videos about how this is celebrated all over the world and we took part in our own celebrations such as dragon dancing and making our own dragons!
