Ladybirds

This week we have had a fantastic time exploring Chinese New year. We looked at gold and red tissue paper play and decorated paper lanterns to hang up. Noodles were the order of the day for a sensory experience and we made yummy spring rolls to nibble on. Next week we are going to be celebrating Valentine’s day with lots of lovely activities to take part in.

Butterflies

This week in Butterflies we have been doing lots of Chinese New Year activities including making lanterns, fortune cookies and our own ‘Year of the pig’ biscuits! We have also begun making our Valentines cards (shhhh it’s a secret!) and also making some heart shaped arts and crafts surprises too. Next week we will continue with the Valentines activities and we will also do some more cooking, including making Valentines biscuits and chocolate rice crispies cakes.

Bumblebees

This week in Bumblebees we have been doing lots of Chinese New Year related activities. We have made lanterns, dragon masks and messed about in noodle play. We have also read some Chinese stories. Next week we will be continuing with the Chinese New Year and getting ready for Valentine’s Day too.

We have been looking at Chinese New Year by making a Dragon, fans, Pigs for the animal of the year, lanterns and flags. Next week we will be looking at Valentine’s day and using some of our body parts to make pictures too.
