Chinese New Year Celebrations

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!
We hope you're having a fantastic one! 

On Friday Team 8 was lucky enough to have Jeremy's parents share with us some of the traditions they celebrate in their family during this special time. First they showed us a powerpoint and talked about the special things they do. 


Team 8. Can you remember any of the things Chinese people like to do on New Years Eve or New Years day? (comment below with the things you can remember to move your peg!)

After that, Yvonne (Jeremy's Mummy) surprised us with some traditional Chinese food! Most of us gave it a try. Mrs Turner thought it was delicious. Mmmmmmmmmm! Thank you Yvonne!












Mrs Turner (on the behalf of Mrs Grant and herself) also gave out some red envelopes to wish everyone health, wealth and happiness for the New Year.


A very special thanks to Yvonne and Austin for the powerpoint and food, and also to Bingqing (Paul's Mummy) for supporting and helping make this day happen! Team 8 is very lucky to have parents like you as part of our learning community.  




Kia ora rawa atu! x

Team 8's Special Treasures

Today some of Team 8 brought in their special treasure.  
Mrs Grant took some photos of Team 8's treasures.
Today Samuel and Jeremy told us why their treasure is important to them.


Samuel told us about his cool motorbike. It is special because the wheels move and so do the handlebars.

Jeremy told us about his 'Winnie the Pooh.'
He got him from Japan and he sleeps with him at night.

We can't wait to see and hear about all the rest of Team 8's special treasures.
