🐉 Lunar New Year!

Today Year 2 learnt about the exciting festival of Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year or the Spring Festival). They watched a video showing how this is celebrated, including traditions of food, decorations, fireworks and parades. It was interesting to learn about other cultures, tradions and celebrations from around the world.

They also found out what animal they were based on their birth-year:

2018 is the year of the dog and 2019 is the year of the pig!

2026 is the year of the horse.

To finish, they made their own Chinese New Year dragons!

Happy New Year from Year 2! 🐉

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
