To celebrate Sports day, the children have been thinking about how special it is to have lots of different countries competing and partaking in events all around the world.
In the afternoon, we learnt about China. We looked on Google Earth to see where China was in relation to England; we saw that it was quite far away from us and much bigger! Some children felt brave enough to share some of their own knowledge about China. Natalie taught us how to count to 10 and Oliver taught us how to say 'hello' and 'goodbye' in Mandarin.
The children also watched a traditional Chinese celebration dance. In the performance, the dancers used scarves to accentuate their movements. We really wanted to give it a go ourselves!
The children also tried some Chinese food, including noodles, rice and crackers. The crackers were a real favourite and everyone opened their minds to try something new. Children also enjoyed writing Chinese characters and colouring in the Chinese flag.
