Chinese New Year

Yesterday was the start of Chinese New Year Celebrations, so we decided we would join in too. In China, they have named their years after animals. This year it is the year of the sheep.

We made a dragon for our class. It hangs across one of the wires. It looks amazing. We also made lanterns to decorate our classroom.

We made dragon masks out of cardboard, glitter, sequins and diamonds.

We also flew to China on a plane. Miss Lagah was our pilot and we crashed. We hope she learns how to fly before we go somewhere else. We watched the lion dance and the dragon dance. We saw the Terracotta Army statues. They are made out of clay. Farmers found them under their soil. There are over 7000 of them and it took 700 000 people to build them. They are all unique, which means they are all different.
