EYFS<br />

The Early Years children have had<br />

an extremely busy week learning all<br />

about Chinese New Year. They had<br />

fun exploring a range of activities and<br />

learning the meaning behind them.<br />

Kung Hei Fat Choy! The children learnt<br />

how to say Happy New Year.<br />

The class made Chinese lanterns to<br />

drive off bad luck. They learnt that red<br />

is a good luck colour and they made<br />

and exchanged red envelopes for their<br />

friends.<br />

Every year is represented by one of<br />

the 12 animals and 2020 is the Chinese<br />

Year of the rat. They explored<br />

Chinese symbols and Dragon dancing!!<br />

We even had the opportunity to<br />

taste some Chinese food.<br />

Y6<br />

This week, Year 6 went on a fact<br />

finding search around our classroom<br />

where there were hidden facts about<br />

a real-life female spy in World War<br />

One. They were amazed by how courageous<br />

she was and loved the idea<br />

of being a ‘spy’. They will now type up<br />

their own fact files about her and will<br />

create a short video to inform others.
