P2 Celebrate Chinese New Year 2016

 

In the week beginning the 8th February, P2 had immense fun finding out about Chinese New Year and experiencing some of the traditional celebrations. A massive thanks to Wei for coming in and giving the children such a rich learning experience. Safe to say they loved every minute!!
