The Early Years Department at Norfolk House School celebrated the Chinese New Year of the Pig on Tuesday 5th February which was Chinese New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Our parents of Chinese descent were invited to join us to share their knowledge and Mrs Lam kindly brought us treats such as Chinese \u2018Love Letter\u2019 biscuits and red money packets filled with chocolate coins and a real \u00a31 coin for each child \u2013 Thank you very much indeed Mrs Lam!<\/p>\n

We continued to fill the week with Chinese themed activities such as looking at Chinese artefacts, painting Pigs and cutting spiral curly tails, making Chinese dumplings, building the Great Wall of China, tasting fortune cookies and even trying to use chop sticks!<\/p>\n

The children also participated in Chinese lion dancing and learnt a Chinese dragon song. During their \u2018Wellie Wednesday\u2019 outdoor learning afternoon they made Chinese letter characters with sticks and, also wrote Chinese words using a paint brush and mud.<\/p>\n

Just to show how talented our children are we learnt some Chinese words and wrote \u2018Very Lucky\u2019 and \u2018Happy New Year\u2019 in Chinese! We also found out about the time difference in China by watching the live Dujiangyan panda-cam via ipanda.com. When the pandas were awake they were so funny playing with each other.<\/p>\n

Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
