The children have shown an interest in insects and therefore we have chosen this as our current topic.  We have watched some videos, created some insects through craft activities and have had a lot of fun digging outside.  We will be counting legs, finding out about their habitats and what they eat over the next couple of weeks.

This week we celebrated Chinese New Year.  We watched a video and learned a little bit about the preparations that are made and the celebrations that take place.  We tried some noodles, rice, sweet and sour sauce and prawn crackers.  We had the opportunity to try some Chinese writing and learn a few Chinese words.

 

We had a lot of fun dressing up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We celebrated Robert Burns’ birthday by trying some haggis, ‘neeps’ (turnips) and ‘tatties’ (potatoes).  We listened to some Scottish music and performed the Scottish song ‘Coulters Candy’ to an audience in the hall.  We made a graph to show which of the foods we tasted, were our favourites.

Trying out some vegetable printing with the turnips and potatoes.  Some of the children said “potatoes grow in the ground”.   They make chips”.
