2. 8/5/2015  Copyright Valiant Technology Ltd February 18 th sees in the Chinese New Year and 2007 is the Year of the Pig. Our origami pigs on the right show how easy it is to dress up your Roamer as a pig. Once you’ve done that why not act out the Three Little Pigs. “No, no, by the hair on my chinny chin chin I will not let you in...!” Or create a suitable home environment for your Roamer pig, then program it to behave like a pig, wallowing in the mud, snuffling up its food. Can you even get it to snort like a pig? The Year of the Pig

3. 8/5/2015  Copyright Valiant Technology Ltd Chinese New Year Of course Chinese New Year can only be properly celebrated with a dragon – so why not turn your Roamer into a dragon with long flowing tail that twists and turns in its dragon dance. Or really challenge your pupils by putting several Roamers under the dragon costume then program them all to twist and turn individually but follow the main route of the dance – after all the Chinese have several people dancing under one dragon costume! To find out more about Chinese New Year go to: http://www.new-year.co.uk/chinese/index.htm. There are many Chinese legends that can be acted out, perhaps the best known being the story behind the willow pattern plate. If you have several Roamers you can act out the story or find other legends (see http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com) to enact.
