In Year 2 we have been learning about the story of Easter and today in class we have re-enacted the story of Palm Sunday in our school playground. We each took turns to be Jesus, or the disciples or the crowd waving the palm leaves.

In class we have been doing division calculations using cupcakes and plates. So 16 divided by 2 is 16 cupcakes shared between 2 plates. We had great fun doing this and it made the calculations easier to understand...as long as no-one eats any cupcakes!!

Today we were visited by very special guests who came to share new year greetings with us! They taught us Chinese celebration songs, told us about the year of the rabbit and taught us all to say 'Xīn nián hǎo', which means Happy New Year in Mandarin. Tim and Lily could already speak some Mandarin…
