This week we have been learning about Chinese New Year and how it is
celebrated. People give presents,
decorate houses in red and gold, put up lights and lanterns, eat special foods,
have dragon dances, and give lucky red envelopes containing money to friends
and family.
For Wellie Wednesday today we
played a game where we had lucky red envelopes and we had to find as many gold
coins as we could to put in them. Some of the coins were numbered and we were able
to put them in the correct numerical order. We did enjoy the game as well as
getting very muddy as usual and trying out our new wheelbarrows!
