We have had a wonderful week celebrating Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the Ox. We have been looking at what animal is was on the year we were born.
We have explored using chopsticks and making noodles and Chinese patterns at the playdough table.
We also have made some beautiful Chinese lanterns and fans. The children showed us their impressive skills using the stapler, painting and using the hot guns through this process.
We had a special Chinese new year Mat time where our friendly puppet Lee joined us to tell us about some of the ways we can celebrate Chinese New year through, food, having a feast, fireworks and spending time with family.
We danced with scarves to some beautiful traditional Chinese music.
We had a bit of a feast of our own as we mad our own Rice Paper rolls with yummy vegetables and noodles. Using the tongs we filled our rice paper and folded the paper up into a roll. We enjoyed eating these with some special sauce! Yummy! Its great to try new food from different cultures.
Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!!
Leyla had such a fun day painting and dancing at the end of the day.
