This week we’ve been busy learning about Chinese traditions for New Year.
We’ve learned about Chinese inventions like paper and about the Great Wall. We learned about the food Chinese people have at this time including how noodles represent everlasting happiness and spring rolls represent gold bars for good fortune. Shrimps represent a smile for happiness.
This year is the year of the rooster and we learned about an old Chinese folktale called The Rooster, the Dragon and the Centipede.
Famous Scots
We learned about Charles Rennie Mackintosh and how he designed his own house and the famous art school in Glasgow. We like his bold, clean and minimalist style.
Our last Queen Mary was a prisoner for around 18 years before she was executed.
