We have loved celebrating Lunar New Year. The children were fascinated to discover that this year is the Year of the Horse, and we explored how families around the world celebrate this special festival.

Dragons, Dancing and Dress

We watched videos of dragon dancing and loved the way the dancers moved together. The children also looked closely at traditional clothes, noticing the that they often wear the colour red!

Tasting New Foods

A highlight of the day was trying some traditional foods. The children were very excited to taste noodles, prawn crackers, and to finish with a fortune cookie. They enjoyed comparing the textures and talking about the different flavours and reading the special message inside the cookie.

It has been a fab day celebrating other cultures!
