• Chinese New Year - Yellow Class

  Thu 08 Feb 2024

  To celebrate Chinese New year Primary Yellow looked at a map to see where China was. We also watched a video to understand their culture and how they celebrated their new year. 

  We celebrated the year of the dragon by making our own dragons from playdough and small parts and even bigger dragons from 2D shapes. We also took part in some dragon dancing! 

  We then had a go at writing our names in Chinese and sharing these with our friends.

  To end our day of learning we experienced some different Chinese foods and tried our best to think of an adjective to describe each of them. We gave each of the foods a thumbs up or a thumbs down. The prawn crackers were given a thumbs up by everyone! Well done Primary Yellow.

They listened to air raid sirens and learned how to communicate using flags to send messages. The class also got to sit in a model Anderson shelter and played some of the games that people would have played whilst in them, such as tiddlywinks and card quoits. They also made paper airplanes and tested how far they flew. They observed differences between British and German fighter and bomber planes, looking at their shapes and the sounds they made. They then learned about rationing and saw the amounts of food people would get for a week. The class had a great day brining their classroom learning to life, please see below for some pictures of the day!
