A 3 week unit of work based around the story of Chinese New Year. There are lots of opportunities here for Cross-Curricular links. We are using this unit as part of our topic ‘Around the World’. This year CNY is on Saturday 25th January so this plan fits just after Christmas holidays and ends the day before. It is easily shortened and adapted for 2 weeks or you could pick and choose activities to fit a week of planning. We are ending with a Chinese New Year party! There are lots of other resources easily available to accompany this unit across the curriculum from Twinkl, Mrs Mactivity and other similar sites. I have not included flipcharts for this unit but I have included success criteria grids, any activity proformas to use and a story for retelling. The grammar lessons that are built into the unit are subject to change depending on your class’s needs and the resources available in your classroom, therefore the activities are just a suggestion. Hope you find this useful!
