Chinese New Year
It's half term, so a little more time to do some things you choose instead of relentless studying.
The Year of the Ox began on Friday, So on Monday we joined the Guides at the Zoom meeting and helped them learn about Chinese New Year customs.
We talked about whether we fit the descriptions of our Zodiac animals - Monkey, Rooster and Goat. (not much except for Kat). Red Squirrel and Hedgehog are both goats too.
Woodmouse led the activity to make a Chinese lantern from paper and Kat showed everyone her 'dragons' (baby geckos)
There was an introduction to Feng Shui, and how to enhance different types of luck, by keeping your room clear of clutter and putting appropriate objects in different areas. You can extend it to cover your whole house and your garden too. Whether you choose to believe that it makes a difference is up to you!
