Teddy Bears Picnic and Den Building

We went to the Fairy Woods and had a great day! First Sarah showed us how to build a den using sticks and some plastic to stop the rain coming in.

We had some soup that a woodsman had cooked on a real fire! Then we went on a treasure hunt. It was really scary we had to follow this map and it went on slippy slopes and round trees and over brambles. Some boys found the treasure, it was a box full of sweets! We all shared them and it was really yummy!!

Chinese history

Chinese dragons

I have been learning about dragons. chinese dragons are nice dragons and they make rain. By Paige age 6 S.t Jude's Primary

Pagodas

The children learnt that the Chinese built Pagodas to worship the dragons. The children built models of the pagodas.

Chinese Lanterns

The children learnt that the Chinese make lanterns and celebrate the Lantern Festival at the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Traditionally this was the only time of year that Chinese women could go and find a husband and they were always chaperoned! Now however this festival is a bit like Valentines day in Britain.
