As we moved from learning about Scotland to China, with Chinese New Year celebrations approaching, we discussed what we think China and Chinese people might be like. Here are some of the children’s ideas.
Hannah: they like dragons.
Scott: they build their houses of hay and sticks.
Ericka: they dress up in Chinese costumes.
Leah: they use chopsticks for eating noodles.
Rohan: I know how they make dragon costumes. They use sticks. The scales are made of paper.
Paige: they look different from us.
Neve: they eat with chopsticks and they eat stuff with carrots in. They like fireworks.
Mark: they make vegetables.
Jessica: they wear dresses and a cardigan on top.
Matthew: they look different. They’ve got different faces.
Joseph: the houses are red and green.
Calise: they eat chicken.
Hayden: they eat chicken and fried rice.
Joao: it’s a hot country.
