Friday's Reception Library visit.

The children thoroughly enjoyed visiting Gravesend library. They had a talk about what a library is, what the card is for, how many books you can borrow, etc. as well as a chance to explore the book areas.

Parents and children shared books and found so many different types of books to explore.
At the end the children were treated to a special story time.

We looked at the traditional tale associating with the animals and how the Chinese New Year as we know it began.Children explored chopsticks, Chinese calligraphy and numbers, as well as trying fortune cookies, writing their own fortune messages and having a go at eating noodles!
The children spent the week creating their own dragons and on Friday we had a Chinese Dragon Dance!
