The children in Class 1 have been finding out all about Chinese New Year this week.
In Literacy we read the Story of the race – http://www.topmarks.co.uk/ChineseNewYear/ZodiacStory.aspx
Then in Maths we looked at what an ordinal number is and used the animals from the story to help us understand 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc.
In P.E. we leaned a Lion Dance and found out that Dragons don’t like red.
In art / DT the children made lanterns and lion masks.
The children found out how to write their initials in Chinese writing.
Finally some of the children enjoyed eating Chinese food for their lunch.
