Today we celebrated Chinese New Year by eating prawn crackers and spring rolls. Kung Hei Fat Choi everybody.
Nursery
Chinese New Year
This week we have been learning about Chinese New Year. We have completed lots of different activities and made Chinese lanterns. We have found the first letter of our name in Chinese and painted it with fine paintbrushes. We have also been writing Chinese numbers and mark making in red sand.
Chinese New Year
I wonder what our nursery and reception children will be doing this week?
Dance and drama
Nursery thoroughly enjoyed singing and dancing with Millie Cuncliffe on Thursday. We sang ‘the frog song’ and danced to ‘Chichiwa’.
Christmas party!
Yesterday nursery and reception had their Christmas party. We had so much fun dancing, playing games and eating.
We even had a surprise visit from Santa. He couldn’t stay because he is so busy.
We hope you like our pictures.

Rangoli
Nursery have found out about how Sikh and Hindu people prepare for Diwali through a video on cbeebies.
if you paste http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/lets-celebrate-diwali into your internet browser you can watch it too!
One of this week’s activities in the setting is to carefully colour in a Rangoli pattern. They put these patterns on their front doorstep.
This is a great example of very thoughtful and careful colouring.

Check back at the end of the week to see what the finished products look like!
Bonfire Night
This week in Nursery we have been doing about “Bonfire Night”. We have talked about how people celebrate it and the history around why we celebrate- the children were shocked that Guy Fawkes was trying to kill the King! The children have also made some amazing firework and bonfire pictures using glitter and paint.
Most importantly we have been learning about how to stay safe on Bonfire Night!
