P4JC Celebrations

Back to News
21st Mar 2022

P4JC really enjoyed learning about our World Around Us theme 'Celebrations'.

We found out lots of new and interesting information about how we celebrate and also thought about how people from other places celebrate too.

First we learnt about Christmas and compared Christmas Celebrations from around the world. Then we looked at New Year, followed by Chinese New Year.

We were very interested to find out facts about China, its people and places, as well as some of the traditions of Chinese New Year. Do you know how long it would take to walk the whole Great Wall of China? Ask one of our class and they will tell you... (hint... If we started now, we would be in P6 before we got to the end!!) We even wrote some facts about Chinese New Year and recorded ourselves presenting them on a green screen to look like we were at the Great Wall of China!

We thought about other times we celebrate, such as Weddings, Easter, if we win something and especially our Birthdays. Some of our class shared their tradition of Name Day which we found very interesting. 

We even talked about Birthday celebrations in the past compared to how we celebrate now. 

We looked at paintings by the Artist Piet Mondrian, and used these to help us make our own mixed media Mondrian inspired Hearts for Valentine's Day. We will keep thinking about Mondrian's work to help inspire us with some activities for our next theme, Home Sweet Home.

Have a look at some of the things we have been doing.
