Chinese New Year is an important Chinese festival celebrated at the turn of the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a some photos of our children enjoying a Chinese themed snack consisting of noodles rice crispy seaweed lychees and green tea! The children worked really hard to handle the chop sticks which caused a lot of hilarity! Children improved hand skills and hand eye coordination using the chop sticks and also when pouring their own Chinese Green Tea from the beautiful Chinese tea pot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The children were inspired by the Chinese New Year decorations, newspaper and calendar and used the items to begin putting their own ideas and thoughts on paper….some children had a go at writing some Chinese characters and we all practised saying ‘Kung Hei Fat Choi’.<\/span><\/p>\n
