Chinese New Year- Jellyfish

Jellyfish have had a busy week celebrating Chinese New Year. The children have learnt about the Chinese zodiac story of "The Great Race"- using puppets to act the story and writing what they can see in the pictures. 
They have tried copying the symbols in Chinese writing, used chopsticks in sensory play  and made amazing lanterns. 
In the classroom we have had a restaurant serving Chinese food and also watched and tried dragon dancing. The children chopped vegetables when we cooked a  sweet and sour stir fry and ate it with their chopsticks!
