We celebrated Chinese New Year by learning about the Chinese Zodiac animals on a Smartboard story, discussing the year of the monkey, recalling and sequencing the story with sequencing cards and watching dragon dance videos. We tried hard to write Chinese numerals on whiteboards, very tricky! We tasted a lovely all together snack of sweet and sour noodles, stir fry vegetables and prawn crackers at group time.
Aidian D “They are good, I’ve ate them all up.”
Rhys “I like when they are all tied up.”
Abbie and Corey “Yummy.”
The next day we enjoyed eating yummy pancakes on Shrove Tuesday for our snack, with lots of toppings to choose from. We listened to Mr Wolfs pancakes story and laughed about the surprise ending! We practiced flipping our playdough pancakes and talked about or favourite toppings.
Zac “I had syrup on my pancakes, I poured it on”
Aidan “I had jam raspberry on, I had to spread it on with a spoon.”
On Wednesday we began making love heart biscuits to give to someone we love to celebrate Valentine ’s Day. We learned about the story of St Valentine through a story on the Smartboard and made Valentine’s cards in the art area. Once we baked our biscuits we decorated them with bright red icing and lots of sprinkles.
Please have a look at our photographs to see just how busy we have been!
