To celebrate Chinese New Year - the year of the 'ox' we tasted different Chinese foods. We tried prawn crackers, fried rice, crispy seaweed, lychees and spring rolls. Our favourite was the green crispy seaweed! May Ling came to visit us and told us all about the celebrations for Chinese New Year and we watched a video of a little boy who told us all the fun things they do over this time. They have lucky money wallets under their pillows in the morning, they decorate their houses with pretty lanterns, watch amazing fireworks and see the lion and dragon dances in the street. We danced to Chinese music with ribbons and painted our feet and printed them onto a large piece of material to make our own dragon or lion.
