Kidderminster nursery children celebrate Chinese New Year
A Wyre Forest nursery celebrated Chinese New Year by tasting traditional food and performing a special Dragon Dance.
Youngsters at Little Trinity Nursery, based in Kidderminster, enjoyed the celebrations as part of their Understanding the World, as part of Early Years Foundation Stage.
The event allowed the children to discuss and participate in a variety of traditions and experiences that they may not get to experience at home.
Located within the grounds of Holy Trinity School, in Birmingham Road, the children from the age of two-years-old all joined in trying a selection of Chinese food.
Gaynor Carter, nursery manager, said: "We always try to incorporate celebrations and festivals from a wide range of cultures so that the children can gain an appreciation and understanding of the many traditions and people of the world.
"Celebrating Chinese New Year is always fun with the children really enjoying their food tasting at morning snack time and our two and three-year-old children in the Green Caterpillar and Yellow Bumble-Bee classes thoroughly enjoying making their very own dragon for their Dragon Dance in PE.
"Lots of fun was had by us all.”
