Chinese New Year House Groups

This afternoon the children worked into their house groups learning about Chinese New Year. Hedgehogs learnt a song about Chinese New Year and played instruments. They also said a poem and danced like a dragon. Badgers looked at the zodiac calendar and tried hard to write the animal names in Chinese. Otters retold the story of how the years of the Chinese calendar were named after different animals. Foxes made dragons, lanterns and lucky cats out of paper. The children shared their work with the other house groups and with ABC preschool. Great team work.
