Chinese New Year!

We have had a wonderful time investigating how Chinese New Year is celebrated. We watched a DVD of Ian and his family celebrating Chinese New Year and watched a lion dance and a dragon dance! We made our own Chinese dragons using our hand prints, they looked very colourful! 

We were told the story about how the animals were chosen to represent the Chinese zodiac and discovered that this year is the year of the horse! 

I think our favourite activity was tasting the Chinese food. It was delicious!!!
