Chinese New Year

This week the children have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year and know that red is a lucky colour. They explored Chinese objects and talked about when they have celebrated a special occasion.

In Maths we have been carefully counting the animals and arranging them in different ways.
We had some great conversation about numbers on NSPCC Number Day. We think Henry wore the most numbers in the school with his pi t-shirt! We talked about  big numbers and what they would ask for if they could have any amount of money- lots of children thought £10 was a lot of money. Grace thought we could just ask for £1 and give the other money to children that need it.

We read the story of the Great Race and Mrs Wilson came and talked to us about living in China. She taught us how to count to 5 in Chinese.

In P.E. we watched a clip of a dragon dance and worked together to create our own dancing dragon. The children did very well moving up and down and shaking their heads to the music.

Next week we will be reading the story 'Rainbow Fish.'

Our rhyme of the week is Pat a Cake.

Our sound of the week is 'c'.
