Chinese New Year 2020: The Year of the Rat

Today we have been learning all about Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the rat. 

We have been retelling the story of the race and how each animal became a different year of the zodiac depending on where they came in the race. The children produced some fantastic pieces of writing from this. 

We all took part in some relaxing Tai-Chi which the children loved to help us feel happy and relaxed.

We have been making different craft activities including dragon masks, money wallets and writing Chinese numbers.
