Chinese New Year

This week Class R have been learning all about Chinese New Year.  We have learnt about the Chinese Zodiac and read the story of how all the animals had a swimming race to decide who the new year would be named after.  We know that this year is the year of the tiger and that some of us were born in the year of the monkey (2004) and some of us were born in the year of the rooster (2005).  We made chinese lanterns and dragon puppets, dressed up in chinese outfits and played in our role-play area which was a chinese restaurant this week.  Our favourite thing was tasting chinese food.  Mrs Wincott made us a stir fry and we had lots of fun trying to eat it with chopsticks.  We also tasted prawn crackers, curry sauce and sweet and sour sauce. Yum!
