Chinese Dragon Dance

We have had some super duper parents helping us make Chinese Dragons this week.  It is Chinese New Year this Sunday.

Today we went to the hall to perform a Chinese Dragon Dance to Nursery and Reception.

Max J reminded us that the dragon dance is to "scare naughty people away" and Jasmine said it is to "scare the evil ghosts and spirits away".  We all made the dragon's body and some people had to help lead the dragons round the hall. 

We also took bells and tambourines to "make the dragon dance" (Hannan) just like on a short film we watched. 

Kelsie felt nervous as we were performing and Jihan felt crazy!  Everyone enjoyed performing and we feel proud of ourselves.
