Catherine W says, “We watched some videos about Chinese New Year, learning about the traditions and the different zodiac animals. We also turned this into a bit of a maths lesson, by identifying different shapes and types of lines. The kids loved it.”

Smitty says, “Our Brownie troop learned about the Lunar New Year and the Chinese Zodiac for World Thinking Day. This allowed them to use artistic expression and inspired them to find out their birth year animal.”
