This week the children have been fascinated with Chinese New Year. There was particular excitement over trying noodles, sweet and sour sauce and prawn crackers at snack times. Some of the children showed huge perseverance whilst attempting to use the chopsticks to eat with. The children have been particularly interested in the animals that represent the birth year after reading the story ‘The Great Race’. Some of the children asked about Chinese letters and Miss Sharon printed them a sheet and they used it to copy the letters of their name. We were donated a typewriter by a former committee member and this has sparked the children’s curiosity this week. They put paper in the top, found letters in their names and found it particularly fun to push the bar back across to type again.
