Today we celebrated Chinese New Year, in year 5. It was a fantastic day, enjoyed by all of the children and staff. We began by identifying where China is in the world, and writing our birth dates using Chinese numbers. We then visited the Prince Garden in the village where we had an amazing welcome from the staff there and members of the Chinese Institute. They were incredibly accommodating and gave the children an explanation of what Kung Hei Fat Choy meant to them before taking questions. They then gave the children sweets, gifts and fortune cookies. Afterwards, we were all treated to some fantastic food from the owners of the Prince Garden before sadly coming back to school. We would like to say a huge thank you to the members of the Chinese Institute and The Prince Garden (especially David) for their hospitality and kindness. Once we were back at school we had a karate lesson where the children learnt some basic self defence moves. Finally the children left school with a small gift kindly donated to us by Mrs. Leigh, owner of the Chinese take away Hakasan, thank you Mrs. Leigh. The children behaved themselves magnificently and we are so proud of them. What a fantastic day.To view all of the photographs from today, and yesterdays maths lesson - problem solving with a Chinese Restaurant Menu, click on the photo below or just browse the small sample shown.
