As the children have had such a lovely time engaging in our Chinese New Year topic, we have continued it for another week.
We have developed our fine motor skills by 'taking our scissors for a walk' to make a lantern and using tweezers and chopsticks to pick up 'noodles'.
We used the Chinese animal masks in our phonics sessions, sounding out the names of animals to cross the river.
and trying and trying until we reached our goal!
We made Chinese Money Packets and copied Chinese writing to decorate. We had to think about where the sticky tape needed to go to make sure there were no holes and our money did not fall out. We tested our finished product and thought about what we needed to do next to make sure that it did its job. We are looking forward to eating our chocolate coins at home!
We have a Super Hero writing area. When we are busy writing, we can put on costumes so we can be super hero writers. Our teachers are pleased to see our amazing writing.
In maths we are practising counting, ordering numbers, going on number treasure hunts in the outdoor garden and using our numbers to make dragon puppets.
Next week we are thinking about People Who Love us to tie in with Valentine's Day.
Please could your child bring in a photo of their family so we can talk about people who love us and what special things they do for us. We will also be making jam tarts.
