Chinese New Year – Tell Me a Dragon!

This week the children have been learning all about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. They have taken part in many different activities including acting out the story of the great race, designing and painting their own dragons, singing and dancing to ‘Puff the Magic Dragon’ and have explored different objects used such as chopsticks and lucky money envelopes.

The children have continued to use their phonics sounds both in their phonics lessons, in drawing club and when accessing the provision in both the indoor and outdoor area.

In Maths we have been focusing on the number 8 and different ways to make 8.

In PE they have continued to develop their skills as gymnasts and this week they have continued to work on balancing in different ways.

The children have had an amazing half term and continue to blow us away with their learning!

We hope you all have a restful half term and thank you as always for your continued support.

Many thanks

The Reception Team
