Nursery Celebrations!

We have been learning about more celebrations from around the world.

On the 25th of January we dressed in tartan for burns night and even enjoyed a burns supper at snack time.  We were delighted that many of the children tasted their haggis, neeps and tatties and were able to explain their likes and dislikes to us.

This week we have been learning about Chinese New Year.  We know that it is the year of the monkey and that red is a lucky colour in China.  We used our cutting skills to make lanterns to decorate the nursery and our folding skills to make money envelopes like the ones children will get during the New Year celebrations.  We had a special chinese snack on Monday and some of us created our own dragon dances in music.  We really enjoyed trying to use chopsticks to lift different things in the nursery too.
