This week we have been learning all about Chinese New Year. The children have been given the opportunities to make their own Chinese lanterns, using a variety of materials to decorate and have been practicing some Chinese writing. To further develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of different festivals and cultures we used our IT skills on the laptop to watch some of the dragon dances that are performed to celebrate Chinese New Year which led us to create our own dragon for nursery! We enjoyed performing to some music! We have also given the children the opportunity to try some Chinese noodles and prawn crackers using some chopsticks at snack time.

Ladywell nursery joined us for a walk in the local community. We had lots of fun displaying our gross motor skills, climbing over logs and exploring the local park.
