Hows your Chinese New Year planning going?

[karensmart4]

Yesterday we put up posters for 'good luck' and 'Gung Hay Fat Choy'.

My assistant read 'Dragon Dance' while I went upstairs and changed into a Chinese outfit complete with hat, came down picked up a plate of prawn crackers and a plate of fortune cookies then walked through to serve the children ...... their faces were a picture :laughing:

After snack etc. we finished off the hats that we painted last week and we hung our dragon decoration on the ceiling.

Today we are going to make 'dragon' masks or puppets :)

On Weds we are making 'Lucky Envelopes' I managed to find some choc coins in WH Smiths for 49p a pk plus it was buy 3 pay for 2 :thumbsup:

Next week we will make Lanterns to end with the festival of light :D
