During the first week of February, the Chinese New Year began. 1D joined in with the celebrations for a whole day. We watched videos showing how they celebrate and read the story of how each year is named after an animal. We found out that all the children in the class who are 6 in 2011 were born in the year of the Rooster and the chidlren who turned 6 in 2010 were born in the year of the Monkey!
We wrote our animal name using chinese symbols. We also made dragon masks, paper lanterns and rugs. It was a lot of fun!
At the end of the day we wore traditional Chinese clothing and took pictures of all the things we had made. As a special treat Miss Man gave us all a fortune cookie to take home.
What a busy day in class 1D!
