In order to inspire them and spark their imaginations, year 5 participated in a Chinese dragon dance. Throughout the dance they utilized their reciprocity skills to work as a team and follow the 'head' of the dragon. After a few rehearsals, the performed to their year 5 peers.
Summer Rose, "I think it's interesting how the dragon has to follow a golden ball."
Tyler, "I thought the dance was amazing."
We also had the opportunity to make our very own 'Chinese snowflake cakes' which are often used to celebrate Chinese New Year and we had a scrumptious pancake banana roll as a treat.
This afternoon, we took part in a variety of Chinese themed craft activities; jack in the box dragons, chatterbox origami and we even made our own paper fortune cookies.
All of the year 5 staff were incredibly impressed with the children's behaviour and cooperation throughout the activities today. Keep up the great work year 5!
新年快乐
