This week, our Foxes have been learning about Chinese/Lunar New Year. We have had a wonderful discussion about our world and where China is on a world map. We have also been very busy making wontons in our new Chinese Restaurant role play area this week. We have been writing menus and building our fine motor skills in making wontons using paper and thread to tie a knot. Our book of the week 'The Great Race' has been a highlight of our Literacy lessons this week. We have acted out the story, discussed its origin and have been using our phonic knowledge to write the names of the animals from the story. 

In Maths, we have been sorting snakes and comparing length. We all tried the challenge question which was a little tricky!  

In our PSHE lessons, we have been discussing the importance of friendships and turn taking. and even made some friendship soup!  

Below are some more exciting activities that have been carried out during exploring time: 

- Using our fine motor skills to create paper lanterns

- Using props to support role play and acting out the story of the 'Great Race'.

- Developing our catching and throwing skills in our outdoor area

- Finding spiders, webs and learning how to keep safe in our Forest School sessions

- Practising how to write some numbers in Mandarin!
