The Chinese Dragon Parade

 The 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds took part in an activity at home with their families about the Chinese Dragon. Drawing on everything they have learnt about this mythical Chinese symbol, the children took part in an arts and crafts workshop to tell their families all they knew about Chinese dragons whilst making their own. Once all the children in the pre-primary year group had made their own, a Chinese dragon parade was held in the school corridor. In the following videos, you’ll first see the 3-year-olds, then the 4-year-olds and finally the 5-year-olds, all proud of their creations. 3-year-olds 4-year-olds 5-year-olds

The Dragon Dance

 The five-year-olds at Cossío School re-enacted the dragon dance, with the children themselves playing the role of the dragon, moving to the rhythm of the ‘pearl’ or ‘ball of wisdom’.

Learning the parts of the body of a dragon

Taking advantage of the Easter theme, the pupils played a fun game with Easter eggs. The children had previously learnt the parts of a dragon’s body: tail, eyes, head, legs, claws, wings, scales and antlers. Afterwards, to reinforce what they had learnt, they played a game where they had to take the Easter eggs to the part of the dragon that the teacher named.
