Tots at a Braintree nursery enjoyed a taste of the Orient last week.

Children at Busy Bees Nursery in Galleys Corner enjoyed traditional Chinese dishes and chopsticks in honour of Chinese New Year.

They also created their own Chinese lanterns and dragon.

Gina Curry, Busy Bees manager, said: “The children had a brilliant time.

“Everyone had lots of fun.

“The children loved their chopsticks and came up with very inventive ways of eating their food.”
