R.M.E

This term we have been learning about the Chinese New Year. We found out that 2013 is the year of the Snake and the celebrations began last Sunday. We learned about the animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Most of us were born in 2006 which was the year of the Dog .

 

We made some chinese dragons and lanterns which are usually on display in the streets when the celebrations take place. We also found China on the map and looked at the flag. It is a much bigger country than Scotland.

Mr and Mrs Lam came to talk to us about Chinese New Year and we shared what we had learned with them. After that we tried to do some chinese writing it was quite tricky as the Chinese symbols are quite different to the letters we use in our writing.
