Today we began exploring the Chinese New Year. We started by listening to a Chinese song - Rainbow Girl. In our literacy stations today some of use read a story called "Once Upon a Time in China". This was the story about the Willow Pattern plate. Some of us have grannies who have the Willow Pattern pottery at home. Now we know the story. After lunch today we learned some facts about China and took a Google Earth view of the Great Wall of China. We will continue to look at more facts from China over the next couple of weeks. We also listened to a The Chinese Zodiac Story. This story told us how the 12 animals were selected for the Chinese New Year. We all felt sorry for the cat! You can read it at home on the following website - https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ChineseNewYear/ZodiacStory.aspx. We found out that some of us were born in the year of the Tiger. What animal represents you? Click here. We are looking forward to learning more during the week.
