Chinese New Year 🧧

20th Feb 2026

This week, our pupils have been fully immersed in the vibrant celebrations of Chinese New Year! We read about the Great Race, discovering how each animal earned its place on the zodiac calendar. The children engaged in wonderful sensory exploration and produced some stunning dragon artwork. To top off the festivities, our young chefs took part in a special cookery session, where they enjoyed tasting noodles and discovering their luck inside fortune cookies. It has been a fantastic week of cultural discovery and hands-on fun!
