Chinese New Year

This week, we have been learning about Chinese culture because millions of people across the world are celebrating a very colourful festival called, Chinese New Year.  Each year is named after an animal in the Chinese zodiac; there are 12 animals in total.  This year is the year of the rooster.  To celebrate we have listened to stories and painted Chinese lucky trees.  When painting the trees, we had experience of colouring mixing and making shades of varying tones.
