The Chinese New Year is an important celebration for many people.
It marks the beginning of the New Year Zodiac Calendar and this year is the Year of the Horse.
Tomorrow I will be posting a freebie on my facebook fan page just for Chinese New Year. This will be a small snippet of the pack below. So make sure you come and visit tomorrow and spread the word!
I have prepared a unit of work aimed at Year 2/3/4. Last year - we had some our Foundation (Prep or K kids) managing work like this.
I have been playing around with Interactive Notebook pages and this pack includes four different types as well as some thinking tools.
I just love the interactive notebook pages and can't wait to use them. I have made up some models to show you how they might look- see the photos below.
