This week we have learned about Chinese New Year. We watched a video showing a dragon dance and learned about the historical story of the animal race which started the 12 years in the Chinese zodiac. This year is the year of the snake. Most of our class were born in the year of the dog but Caitlin was born in the year of the pig.

We started to think about our new topic of castles. We shared what we already know about castles and thought about what we would like to learn. We also gave Mrs Gallagher some ideas about what we would like to have to play with in the classroom. She liked some of our ideas very much, especially creating a throne for our classroom.

*** Pupil of the week *** Lennox is pupil of the week this week for trying hard with his listening skills. He also impressed Mrs Gallagher with some lovely handwriting.
