Year 1 have been learning all about Chinese New Year, a major holiday in China and for Chinese communities throughout the world. Cherry Class looked at a map to find China and talked about different features of the environment and how people live in China.  They also found out that the starting date of the Chinese New Year is not the same each year. It begins in late January or early February and this year is the Year of the Rabbit.  We had a fun day making paper lanterns, dragons, dancing and colouring.  We even got active learning yoga positions for each animal in the Chinese zodiac.
