This week it was Chinese New Year and we found out about how Chinese people celebrate. 'We were learning about chopsticks. You have to learn how to use them. Chinese people use them to eat dinner.' Rio. 'We use knives and forks and they use chopsticks.' Ciara. 'We made hand print dragons' Max. ' we went in a big dragon (mask when we were dancing)' Jamie. 'We did a dragon dance' Lucy. 'I was born on the year of the tiger' Ethan.
We carried on with the theme of 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' by making shoes for our toys. We sewed the fabric together just like the Elves did. 'You need to pull the needle all the way through.' Leo. 'You need to hold the end otherwise the thread will come undone.' Ethan. 'You might hurt yourself with the needle if you are not careful.' Sophia. The children really took their time and did some careful sewing and it took a long time so we will need to finish off after half term.
For the half term holidays we are asking parents to fill out a 'Star Moments' sheet to let us know of something special your child has done when they have persevered and tried hard to achieve something. This might be a model they have made, their swimming, reading or writing, dressing or undressing etc.
