This week we have been celebrating both the Lunar New Year and making Valentine craft. Today is the beginning of the year of the ox, Mrs Chapple is an ox 🐂, so they are obviously fantastic people! The children discovered that they are either monkeys 🐒 (like Mrs Matthews junior) or roosters 🐓 (like me).

On Monday the children danced to Chinese music and used traditional Chinese lucky colours for dancing footprints.

They also had lots of fun trying to eat noodles and prawn crackers with chopsticks. This wasn’t easy! 🍜

We tipped the duplo out for the children to play with this week. The children got very creative and it was lovely to see them cooperating and constructing together.

The children made Valentine cards this week. It was lovely to hear them talk about why they love their families.
