ππ§§ Our Lunar New Year Celebrations Are Under Way! π§§π
Our Preschool children have been fully immersed in our Lunar New Year celebrations!
Today, they explored rice noodles and spring onions, using their senses to investigate texture, smell and appearance. We discussed how these ingredients are used in dishes often found in Chinese restaurants and why food is such an important part of celebrations. ππ₯¬
The children also had a go at using chopsticks, which was a fantastic opportunity to develop fine motor skills, handβeye coordination and perseverance. There were lots of smiles, determination and proud moments! π₯’β¨
Experiences like this support rich language development, cultural awareness and understanding of the world around us β all through hands-on, meaningful play. πβ€οΈ
Weβre excited to continue our Lunar New Year celebrations over the coming days!
