Discovering China

This week Class 3 have been having great fun experiencing Chinese New Year activities. They've made a dragon's head out of papier-mâché to use in their dragon dance. They made up their dragon dance with Miss Stewart and will be performing on Monday. In PE the children did a ribbon dance. They have been having a great time playing in the class Chinese restaurant cooking food in a wok and serving each other noodles and spring rolls. On Thursday they spent the day cooking and tasting new foods. In the morning they tried exotic fruits and made fruit kebabs. Later they chose what vegetables they wanted to add to their egg fried rice and helped to fry it in a wok. They were very adventurous and tried prawn crackers and cape gooseberries (Chinese lanterns) and most children loved them! It was a very Happy Chinese New Year in Class 3!
We will continue to explore more about China as part of the topic The Big Wide World throughout the term.
