Happy Lunar New Year to all our families! It is the Year of the Snake this year and all our children have really enjoyed making snakes. The children explored the colour red and enjoyed the sensory toys on the red blankets. The children enjoyed making marks in the sand and using the black paint to try and create Chinese Symbols of the Zodiac. After our families had made their own animal masks we held our very own "Great Race" and created the Grace Owen Zodiac. Suzi told all the families a wonderful story using props and puppets whilst our hidden helpers prepared a delicious 'deconstructed' stir fry for the children to enjoy. Once our bellies were full we performed a lion dance and Lunar New Year parade in the garden. The children blew bubbles and banged drums. It was lot's of fun!
