 * * * * Chinese New Year * * * * 

 

So what do we need to celebrate a Chinese New Year in style?

 

Did Mrs Brown say a dragon?

 

And as if by magic one appeared before our very eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We even found time to practice using chopsticks.

 

 

 

Year 5 created their own Chinese art.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While Year 6 designed and made masks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Year 3 made the lanterns for the final day of celebrations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Were you born in the year of the rat?

 

1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996 and 2008

 

 

 

 

Are you a typical rat?

 

 

Good characteristics: Rats are talkative, imaginative and full of clever ideas.

 

Bad characteristics: Rats can be greedy!
