Kung Hei Fat Choy! means Happy New Year! All the children have enjoyed learning about Chinese New year. 
We explored the celebration through active role play, small world play retelling the great race story, creating cards and red envelopes for good luck and fortune.We made a fantastic Chinese dragon together as a group using bright colourful material for the body and a variety of creative resources to construct the head. Some of us looked at the Chinese dragon dance on the computer and I pad to see how they moved and what colours they used, whilst others looked for ideas in books. Our younger children created a small world of their own with dragons in the sand using natural materials to create an environment they thought they would like to live in.
We had our own Chinese restaurant with different traditional food types. We had fun mixing and selecting food for others. Some of us even tried to use chopsticks!
