W/C 24/01/22 Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year

* This week we are looking at Chinese New Year.  
* Watch the video on the blog. St James children have produced a fantastic video this for this week, looking at the importance of understanding other cultures such as Chinese New Year.
* Discuss with a partner or on your table the things you have learned through the video on the blog.
* Why do you think it is so important to learn and show understanding
   of other cultures and their celebrations?
* Can you think of any bible stories that give examples of
    understanding others people’s religion or culture?
* What values does understanding our differences and similarities
    foster?
* Use your window, door and mirror key rings to reflect on not giving up. How do you feel now? What have you discovered? What will you take away from this week’s Ethos to Go?

it is important to learn about other people's religion because if you ask them something in their language you might say something rude but you do not mean it and it might hurt their feelings and then it might start a argument

We looked at the Chinese New Year Zodiac after the video and found out that children in L4 were either born in the year of the horse or the year of the goat. Mr McPhail was born in the year fo the tiger and Ms Smyth was born in the year of the snake!
