Charlotte and Larrisa kindly brought in some lovely traditional decorations and they decorated the reception area and made spring rolls ready for their Chinese New Year party. Throughout the week the children used Chinese paper to experiment with Chinese writing, counted out gold coins into play-dough, used glitter for mark making and made a Chinese dragon. Lots of expressive dancing and music making took place to Chinese music, using masks that the children made. What a busy and wonderful week they all had celebrating the ‘Year of the Ox’! **Tags:** [infantsandjuniors](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/infantsandjuniors) [2020-2021](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/2020-2021) - [ previous](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2021-02-23-mr-oddie-s-kgjs-isabell-birley-400-challenge) - [next ](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2021-02-24-dan-bibby-s-rugby-sevens-summer-camp) - [Mission Statement](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
