Happy Chinese New Year
Robins and Ducklings had a super time learning about lots of the traditions surrounding the Chinese New Year. They learnt about the story of the Great Race, and the legend of Nian, and how these influenced some of the traditions that happen at this important time of year. The children enjoyed tasting some traditional Chinese food, including prawn crackers and noodles. Not everyone liked all of the food on offer (although plenty did!), but most children were happy to try new things, even if they decided after that they didn't like them. One of the standout moments was our dragon dancing, which the children really enjoyed, taking turns to be the dragon and then playing some musical instruments to accompany the next dragon - lots of fun!
