10R had lots of fun researching and learning all about the Chinese New Year. We learned that 2022 is the year of the Tiger and that the learners in 10R were born either in the year of the dog or the year of the pig.

We watched the story of how the Emperor challenged the animals to race across the river, the rat was the winner of the race and the cat never finished.

Then using pink paint and a pop bottle we worked as a team to make a display with a cherry blossom tree painted on it. When this was dry we put it up on the wall and then added the posters we made about each of the individual animals and their positive traits.

Later using the animals, we looked at whether we had any similar traits to the one we picked and we made these into a book.
