The children have been celebrating Chinese New Year this week in nursery.

We have made our own dragons, using scissors to make snips in the tissue paper. We continued to practice cutting skills by making Chinese lanterns and kites to fly in the wind.

The children have been practicing fire safety around the fire pit and have made curry noodles to enjoy with prawn crackers, we also wrote special messages to hide inside our fortune cookies.

Celebrating Chinese New Year provides the children with an opportunity to explore another culture and their traditions.
