Chinese New Year Celebrations!
Reception - Centipede
Our Reception class created the centipede from the Chinese story 'The Rooster's Lament'. They mixed the colour brown all by themselves and created a pattern in the paint which they printed onto their paper. They then cut their patterns out themselves and put them all together to create the centipedes body. They then added its head and 100 legs!

Class 1 put on a wonderful performance of traditional Chinese dancing, and sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Chinese to the whole school!
