After over 1 month of preparation by the Young Pioneers and the Chinese team, and with the support of all the teachers, the children enjoyed a June Dragon Boat Festival.
Zongzi is an essential part of every Dragon Boat Festival.
Children don't care whether it's sweet or savoury, in their minds, zongzi are always hot, green and delicious.
And hand-made dumplings are surely the best in the world!
Whether it was the adults who have become expert zongzi wrappers, the children who are still learning the art of leaf folding, or the expatriate teachers, all were able to better appreciate the charm of traditional Chinese culture through their hands-on experience.
Making scented bags, making dragon boats and racing them ...... All children can enjoy the many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.
They can experience the joy of working on a piece of artwork with their friends, the feeling of fighting in a dragon boat competition, and the traditional culture in the event.
As they become good global citizens, they will be firmly rooted in Chinese culture. Without losing their foundation, they will also know better how to inherit and carry on.
Dragon Boat Festival is a poetic festival.
*School leaders share their thoughts on the Dragon Boat Festival
The classical Chinese poetry recital is a celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival, an extension and consolidation of students' Chinese learning, and an important way to develop children's interest in poetry.
They dress up in beautiful traditional costumes, take to the stage, play a guzheng and dance, and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with the sound of poems being recited.
At BMH, we nurture the humanistic qualities of our children in their daily lives, in every activity and in every festival. When they understand China, they will understand the world better.
