We had a fantastic day celebrating the Chinese New Year . We began by Ribbon Dancing which is not as easy as it looks!! We even had new teachers Iman, Emilia and Emily gave a wicked Mandarin lesson! Then it was over to Jonathan and James who organised the treasure hunt for us, it was great fun helped us to learn the Chinese numbers! We used the netbooks to find out more about Chinese culture. We loved making the Zodiac Fortune Wheel and the lanterns. One of the highlights of the day was eating noodles with chopsticks. We all agreed that Gurvir was the master of chopsticks.Kung hei fat choi!!We had a very different start to the week when we took part in a golf lesson.

We had a really brilliant day at The Butterfly Farm on Tuesday, where we began to learn about the Rainforests and the animals and birds that live there. We walked through the humid hot houses imagining we were in a rainforest. During this term we will be learning about the importance of the rainforests to the plane. Parents, you can help the children by reading any non-fiction books about the rainforests and animals with them. so please check out your local libraries!
