This week in Reception we celebrated Chinese New Year: Year of the Tiger

Every day we celebrated in a different way:

\- We tried cultured food, noodles, fried rice and fortune cookies.
\- We danced in a lion costume, just like they do in the parades.
\- We listened to Chinese music and decorated tiger masks.
\- We placed the flag of China onto our class world map and we read a variety of books about China.
\- We also read The Magic Paintbrush by Julia Donaldson and painted our own pictures using traditional paintbrushes.

We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating and sharing these experiences with our parents/carers, whilst learning about a new country.
