We had an enjoyable but busy week celebrating the Chinese New Year. The children painted rolls and joined them together with a little help to make their own snakes. They made dragons. They coloured dragons and even tried to do a dragon dance! They helped to make the Chinese New Year biscuits by mixing and then rolling the ingredients in corn flakes. The home corner became a Chinese restaurant for the week. At the end of the week the children had a little party listening to and dancing to chinese music then they ate fried noodles (a chinese symbol for long life) and ate the Chinese biscuits they had made.
Dragons are a popular theme in our topic 'Once upon a time' so the Chinese New Year fitted in nicely. After half term we will be seeing more dragons again but this time of the welsh variety as we will be celebrating Welsh week in preparation for St David's Day.
