EYFS - Chinese New Year

Lesson: EYFS

Class: EYFS (F1) Preschool Year: 2023 - 2024

This week, EYFS have been learning about Chinese New Year. The children found out about this very old festival and its traditions.

They looked at the timeline of Chinese New Year. We found out that on New Year’s Eve, families spend time together and share a special, traditional Chinese meal. On New Year’s Day, the children wake up to red envelopes which contain money and lollies. In the evening, families celebrate in the street with fireworks. These are set off to frighten evil spirits away.

The children enjoyed Chinese mark making, dressing up in traditional Chinese clothes and food tasting.
