Dear Families and friends,
We have had a terrific week in Angwin celebrating
Chinese New Year, Shrove Tuesday and Valentine’s Day! Here is a snippet of
conversation we shared about the Lion Dance on Monday…
Erin:
People were underneath the lions!
Poppy: We
could see their feet and their school shorts.
Teddy: It
was too noisy… there was a drum.
Poppy:
There were cymbals
Harry
H: I was scared because I don’t like drums
Denver: I
liked the dragon and I sat with Regan.
Erin: I
had a Chinese dress…there was a peacock ….. I gave the dragon a red envelope
for Chinese New Year.
Teddy:
It’s the Monkey Year!
Poppy: Wenting brought in special things for us!
Amelia: I
was scared because the dragon had real eyes but I now I know it wasn’t real.
Miss
B: The head was a mask
Erin: I
could see their faces inside.
Miss
B: What did the dragons do?
Poppy:
They wiggled and touched each other.
Miss
B: The boys made the dragons jump up and down.
Teddy: At
the end I got to touch them… it stopped and it wasn’t loud then.
William: It
was going to eat me! It was right up to my face. The red dragon was up to me
and the yellow one was up to Oscar!
Denver:
They were my Mummy’s big boys.
William:
They weren’t real dragons…
We are going to do some more exploring with our
class about real and not real to help unpack some of these ideas further.
The children have enjoyed water play outside, cooking heart biscuits,
seeing the Monster truck on Thursday and working on many ways of using our
words to solve problems and to work cooperatively with our friends.
Have a
wonderful weekend,
Pip
and Coral
