Dancing into Spring

7/2/2025

The continuation of our learning about lunar New Year was further developed through music and movement.

Children used photographs in books to research how people celebrate Lunar New Year.
We looked especially at Ribbon Dancing and the Lion Dance.
Children selected materials and collaboratively created a lion for their Lion Dance. They made marks on fabric using fabric pens.
Some children created their own ribbons using tissue paper and lolly sticks. They used a range of one handed tools and developed their joining skills.

We discovered some music on YouTube and accompanied that with cymbals and bells.
Children paraded together with staff around the garden, moving their bodies and taking it in turns to be under the Lion's head and body!

We take our dance and musical appreciation at Rachel Keeling very seriously! Welcome the year of the snake!!!
