In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, so that the 葫芦影业 Confucius Institute's Young Learners could learn more about their Chinese heritage, even in a foreign country; the Children's Department of the Confucius Institute organised a two-week "Mid-Autumn Festival" themed activity from October 1st 2020.

During the weekend classes at our Star Mandarin School, teachers introduced Mid-Autumn Festival traditions & customs, storytelling, festival themed quizzes and other activities into the classroom.

They vividly demonstrated the Mid-Autumn Festival tradition to the children and introduced them to a fascinating part of Chinese culture.

Students Guan Hongming, Luo Enquan and Chen Xiangen recorded how they and their families celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival which was compelling for both their classmates and the children's parents.

Four students such as Wu Xuanlong, Zhang Yuchen, Yu Zijing, and Li Zixin from another class at the Star Mandarin School used what they  learned in their textbooks and wrote letters to their relatives and friends to send Autumnal thoughts and wishes.
