Bressingham Primary School

 This term, Year 4 have been lucky enough to have ukulele lessons from music teacher, Mr Draycott. We have welcomed this exciting, new opportunity and already learned so much! We're enjoying building on our skills each week. Some of us have even asked our parents for our own ukuleles! 😁

We have had a wonderful week learning about Chinese/Lunar New Year in Bumblebees Class. The children have really developed a good understanding of how the festival is celebrated around the world and can recall some key facts such as: red being a lucky colour, fireworks being used to scare the monster Nian and the story behind the Chinese Zodiac. We have incorporated Lunar New Year across the curriculum. The children have been creating their own dragons and in the hall we learnt how to complete the famous lion/dragon dance. On Tuesday we were lucky enough to have a food delivery from Neal at Happy Palace and sampled some delicious Chinese Food. On Thursday we developed our own culinary skills by beginning our Whole Class cooking sessions. These are so beneficial to the children's learning and development in numerous ways for example: PSED - turn taking, sharing; Communication and language - listening to instructions, giving responsibilities to our friends; Physical Development: Chop
