This week the Yellow Group have been learning about Chinese New Year. We explored mark making in Chinese using fine brushes and examples of Chinese print and also carried out our very own Chinese Dragon Dance! Some of the children got to play instruments while others dressed as the dragon and danced to the music.
We even had the chance of trying to use chopsticks and tasted different types of Chinese food â the prawn crackers went down a treat! Also, we got crafty and creative as the children were able to make their very own mini Chinese dragons.
This week allowed children the opportunity to learn about different traditions and cultures. The children asked a lot of who, what and why questions and were all willing to try and experience new things.

This week we have been learning all about Chinese New Year. First, we tried a selection of Chinese foods and even used tricky chop sticks!  We listened to Chinese music, played musical instruments and carried out our very own dragon dance outside on the yard. We also used paint to make Chinese writing/patterns on red and gold card

This week at Nursery, Red Group have been learning about Chinese New Year. We have also explored chinese writing and some chinese food â using chopsticks is very tricky! We tried noodles and prawn crackers with dips for snack, and they were tasty! We did a fun dragon dance and some of us played the instruments very loudly!   We also had an important talk about road safety which prompted Max to bring in his safety helmet to show everyone.

Lovely week in Green Room, we have been talking about Chinese New Year. We watched the dragon dance on the large screen then made a dragon so we could join in. We made masks of our favourite animal from the Chinese Story then had a race to see which animal was the fastest.

This week we have been focusing on Chinese New Year. The green group children made a dragonâs body and all of the nursery children joined in a dragon dance outside in the yard. We have made animal masks so we can have a race like the Chinese zodiac animals.
We also had a road safety talk. Dave our nursery puppet had been knocked over by a car so we talked about the importance of holding a grown-ups hand, looking and listening and walking across the road.
This week the green afternoon pm group have been really busy. We played in the snow on Monday, made salt dough heart decorations, had a pancake race and made pancakes for snack. We also used the laptop to plan with, the children were all competent using the mouse pad.
Lovely week in the Green Group-we made pancakes, âThese are the best pancakes everâ Oliver said. We then had a pancake race and practised how to flip one. We made Valentines hearts for people we care about using salt dough.
This week the Blue Group made valentines cards for their families; using glue and different coloured paper. Once decorated, they then had a go at copying their names inside their cards.
The Yellow Group went on a walk down to the Forest with some lovely parent helpers. We walked across the bridge and looked down into the River Don. We found a mammy duck and daddy duck swimming by on the morning but on the afternoon we tried our hardest to find them but had no luckâ¦we were quacking for ages!
Some of the children went exploring and found a fallen down tree⦠we used our imagination and pretended it was a train, all aboard, choo choo! Others were practicing their climbing skills, Harriet proved to be quite a tree climber!
It was a chilly but lovely day!
Thank you to all the parents that came along with us!
