Celebrating Chinese New Year at Barn Owls preschool 🇨🇳 🐴 🍜 ✨

The children have had a wonderful time learning about Chinese New Year celebrations. They have enjoyed tasting Chinese food, listening to traditional songs, and dancing. We also explored a dedicated role-play area and participated in various themed activities and crafts.

It has been a joy to watch the children engage with these traditions and learn more about different cultures. ✨😊
