We have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year as part of our Celebrations topic. We had a wonderful time sharing our learning with our parents during our sharing assembly on Friday. Thank you to everyone that turned up- we hope that you all enjoyed!
We spent much time preparing for our assembly; we created an amazing dragon to help up perform a dragon dance, acted out the story of the great animal race and learnt some new songs about Chinese New Year.
We have enjoyed learning about Chinese traditions at New Year and have compared these to New Year celebrations in Wales. We have made lanterns, lucky red envelopes and Chinese drums.
The children created invites to inform their families about our assembly, they used pic collage on the iPads to search and save images and wrote key information to inform parents of required details.
In numeracy we have learnt about ordinal numbers and completed a variety of races to help us order ourselves from 1st to last. We have ordered numbers to 20 and have explored with sorting animals against a number of criteria.
Next week we have planned to conclude our celebrations with a Chinese New Year party with our buddies in Year 5.
