Today 7R have been learning all about Chinese New Year. We spent the morning reading a story that taught us about the animals that the years are named after. We used masks to act out the story once we had listened to it and practiced playing parts by thinking of something the different animals might say. We then made ourselves a chart that showed the order of the animals. We learnt that 2020 is the year of the rat. Next, we found out how Chinese New Year is celebrated in China and wrote about the celebration. This afternoon we recapped what we had learnt through a craft activity, colouring and a wordsearch. Finally we enjoyed trying some Chinese foods!
7R have had a great day learning about Chinese New Year!
