Chinese New Year Celebrations!

Today we have started our Chinese New Year celebrations! We have had so much fun! We started the day off by reading a story and watching a video which told us lots about Chinese New Year, how we prepare for it and how it is celebrated. We then put what we have learnt into practice. We had so much fun pretending to make our own noodles and rice in the tuff tray and delivering the food to our Chinese restaurant. The children enjoyed dressing up and even enjoyed writing their names in Chinese and using the play dough to make our own Chinese dumplings. you can't celebrate Chinese New Year without tasting some yummy Chinese food! The children cooked their own noodles and tasted them along with rice, two different types of Chinese curries and some prawn crackers and dips! The children have also took a Chinese New Year envelope with a chocolate coin home. Press the buttons below to learn all about Chinese New Year at home ..
