Chinese New Year Week. The Year Of The Snake

 We have had a fantastic week celebrating Chinese culture. We have learned to...

 

Say good morning and good afternoon in Mandarin, 

Write our names in Chinese,

Cut out and decorate snakes from paper plates, 

Fry rice noodles, soy sauce and Chinese vegetables in a wok, 

 

Use real chopsticks to eat our noodles with,

Dance to Chinese music and become snake and fire-spitting dragons,

 

Count 56 prawn crackers in maths,

Listen to the story of the Tortoise and the Hare being told in Chinese by a Chinese visitor,

 

Play musical instruments to create Chinese music and work in our Chinese Restaurant role-play area.
