Chinese New Year

We celebrated Chinese New Year by tasting some Chinese food and looking at Chinese writing.  We used ink to try to write some Chinese letters and danced with ribbons, making shapes in the air.

Parents’ Tea Party

 

Our Nursery Rhyme this week is “I’m a Little Teapot” so we decided to have our own little tea party. We invited people who are special to us and they joined us for sandwiches, fruit, cakes and drinks.  We made and decorated the cakes ourselves.

Frosty Morning Walk

 

We went for a ‘Frosty Morning Walk’ today around the school grounds to see what we could find.

Melting frost

Everything was covered in frost and even the grass was white!  We put our hands on different things and watched the frost melting.

 

Handprints in the frost!
