Our Chinese New Year topic was concluded with a celebration afternoon with our buddies in Dosbarth Arian. We had a wonderful afternoon sharing our learning with each other. Dosbarth Arian had prepared Poetry, while we enjoyed performing our Dragon Dance and Songs.
To begin the afternoon the children were linked with their buddy and were set a challenge of finding out 3 things they had enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year in their classes. There were lots of lovely discussions and our Year 5 buddies asked some fantastic questions.
We were extremely lucky to receive a delivery of delicious food from Mr and Mrs Chen. What an amazing way to end our celebrations! We would like to say diolch to them both. We all thoroughly enjoyed.
Sharing a meal with our buddies was a perfect opportunity to get to know them more. We enjoyed finding out about each other and the things we like to do, we will use these to help us plan future buddy sessions.
Each pair of buddies were given a a fortune cookie, we opened them together and enjoyed discussing their meanings. Year five were amazing at explaining these to us.
We ended the afternoon learning about how Chinese New Year is celebrated in different home around the world. Check out the Let's Celebrate episode on cebeebies iplayer to find out more at home.
We had had a wonderful afternoon sharing our learning with our buddies and are looking forward to many more. We would like to thank Dosbarth Arian for joining us and helping us learn more about our topic and for our beautiful Chinese New Year Cards. Also a huge diolch to our parents, Mr and Mrs Chen for their kind donation of delicious food- the afternoons celebrations will be a memory that will stay with our children for a long time.
Happy New Year to each and everyone of you- Gung Hey Fat Choy.
