The Mid-Autumn Festival is the second most important festival in China after the Spring Festival. This week, Primary students in Chinese classrooms celebrated the wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival with various activities.
Year 1 and Year 2 children have listened to the Chinese traditional legend story about the moon. They enjoyed the story and have learnt why and how Chinese people celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival. They made lollypop rabbit and tumbler rabbit, which brought the children so much fun.
Mooncakes are the most representative food for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Year 6 students tried to make mooncakes by themselves. They kneaded the dough, put the filling in and shaped the mooncakes with molds. Through practice, the children further understood the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Students in Years 3, 4 and 5 also made different handcrafts related to the Mid-Autumn Festival. They all enjoyed the activities very much.

Here, at BSB Sanlitun, we were pleased to host two weeks of visits of two Juilliard specialists from New York, across 3 full working days. Our Primary students got to experience a variety of lessons and teaching styles as Nick Mahmat and Brian Drye stepped into our classrooms and led music and drama activities.
What a wonderful day we had hosting our annual Chinese New Year Temple Fair on campus on Sunday. This great community event included games, a Lion Dance, Dragon Dance, a face changing performance, traditional crafts, a bouncy castle, food vendors and gift stalls.Thanks to everyone who made the event possible and magical!
