This week the Children have all been learning about Chinese New Year and have made some beautiful lanterns, listened to Chinese music and today they had such a special treat when they all came together to make Chinese Dumplings.

Harry's whole family came in and demonstrated how to make dumplings from scratch and Harry's Daddy told us why Dumplings are made for Chinese New Year and other celebrations. We had a choice whether to make tofu or pork dumplings and the children found that although it was very tricky to make it was also a lot of fun.

The children not only got to learn how to make dumplings, but they also had a window into another culture and discovered that although foods and celebrations are different for other cultures, they can be lots of fun.
