Chinese New Year is a festival where people celebrate their New Year. Mrs Underwood read us a story of a race and there was a mouse, a cat, horses and sheep there were a lot of animals and there was a challenge to cross a river,  the mouse cheated by going on the back of an ox and then we drew pictures  of the animals that came in first, second and third. Me, Melissa and Leah were all horses because we were born in 2002 and other people were different animals like sheep, dragons, monkey and cockerels. We could use any thing to draw our pictures like crayons and felt tips. Some of us looked at pictures to help us to see what the animals looked like.
