This morning, the children and staff in Early years had a great time playing in the snow in our Reception garden. Snowballs were thrown, Snowmen were made, and LOTS of fun was had by all!

As part of our 'Chinese New Year' week, today we made 'Chinese red envelopes'.
During Chinese New Year it is tradition for children to be given red envelopes (or Hongbao) containing money, from their parents, grandparents and other relatives. Within the Chinese culture, the colour red symbolises energy, happiness and good luck, and sending red envelopes is a way to send good wishes and luck. Take a look at some of us making our red envelopes.... As mentioned in an earlier post, pancake day fell on the Tuesday of half term this year....so we decided to celebrate it with the children during this week's cooking session.
Most of the children tried a pancake, and could choose to have a range of different toppings on them, including lemon and sugar, chocolate spread, syrup, and strawberry or chocolate sauce. .....Some of us who chose chocolate spread appeared to end up with more around our mouths than on the pancake,,,,mentioning no names... (Macie)! :) This morning during snack time, the Activity area turned into our very own Chinese restaurant!
Mrs Rushbrooke kindly cooked us some noodles, some prawn toast, some spring rolls and some sweet and sour wontons. We also tried some warm prawn crackers. Nearly all of us tried some of the Chinese food and agreed it was all very yummy. Mr Barnard even showed us how Chinese people eat their noodles- with chopsticks! Thank you to our super chefs/waiters- Mrs Rushbrooke and Mr Barnard! Have a look at us trying some of the Chinese food.... As Valentines Day falls during Half term this year, we decided to incorporate the day within this weeks cooking. We made 'Jam Tarts' or rather 'Jam Hearts'. We had to use our big muscles to roll out the dough and then we cut out some 'pastry cases' using the cutters. Mrs Rushbrooke had to be careful getting them out of the oven as the jam was very hot!! As Pancake day and Chinese New Year also fall in Half Term week, we hope to celebrate both of these during the first week back, We hope to taste some different Chinese foods and of course make Pancakes! |
