Base 2 have been learning about Chinese New Year this week. We have talked about ‘The Great Race’ and how each year came to be named after an animal. This year is the year of the horse. We used the internet to research what the animal was the year the children were born – a tiger or an Ox. We also found out the animals for the years Miss Chetwood and Mrs Baronet were born – a dragon and a tiger. We then explored writing some Chinese numerals and making paper lanterns.
