With the arrival of Chinese New Year, the sounds of \u201cGung Hay Fat Choy\u201d (\u201cHappy New Year\u201d) have been heard round Nursery as we learn about the traditions, celebrations and story of this special time for Chinese people. Our Chinese feast consisted of noodles, rice, prawn crackers and various sauces for dipping. Great fun was had by all, trying to use chopsticks \u2013 who would have thought that snack could be such fun?<\/p>\n

Our own Chinese restaurant in the role play area has been very popular and dancing to Chinese music has provided a wonderful calm among the excitement. Some of the children\u2019s ideas about life in China have been delightful: there may not be <\/em>\u201cpurple houses made from butterflies, sparkles and stars with fairies at the bottom\u201d<\/strong><\/em> in China<\/span>,<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>\u00a0as one child suggested, but what an imaginative picture she painted.<\/p>\n

\u201cGung Hay Fat Choy\u201d to families and friends from all the children and staff at Hecklegirth Nursery.<\/p>\n
