Week Beginning 5th February

'Kung Hei Fat Choi’ everyone! In other words 'Happy New Year...again although this time  we are talking about the one in China.

A happy new year in Chinese writing too...

Great job children!
 
 
 
 
This week has been an exciting one learning about a different culture and traditions.
Take a look at the work we have put into this celebration:
 
 
We have made some lovely bright lanterns to wish all a bright future.


 
 
Chinese numbers anyone?

 
 
Check out our new yoga pose: The Cobra Snake
 


 
 
 
 
Of course we are still keeping a close eye on the weather and update our weather chart regularly and since we had another sprinkle of snow we made the most by dancing in the snow and catching a few flakes here and there....
 
 


 
'Wow, look at this ice - it's sharp and cold'.
 
We continued our learning journey in maths and worked on measuring lengths accurately using cubes. We then compared the lengths of each dragons and worked out which one was the longest, shortest and middle sized.



 
Back to Chinese New Year and we couldn't resist trying our own Dragon Dance after reading the book in English.  We took it in turns to be the leader using our own dragon masks and managed to cooperate fantastically to move and turn without any bumps.
 
 
 
 
 
Synchronised feet!
 
Finally to end the week, we couldn't forget he fact that we are not in school for Pancake Day so thought we had better bring it forward a couple of days.  We made a perfect batter and then enjoyed eating our very own pancakes. 
 
 
 
Also a whole school house point pancake relay.
 
 
Great team work from all
 

Have a fantastic rest next week and enjoy your half term, don't forget you have your tricky word challenge in your book bags if you want to impress us when you return after half term.
