Working Bee- Saturday 15 September 2018
We recently had our fourth Working Bee for the year on Saturday 15 September. Despite the cold and wet conditions, it was fantastic to see so many families turn up to help tidy and neaten the school yard. It was an extremely productive morning with enough trimmings and weeds to fill the bins twice over. Thank you so much for the tireless efforts of all the volunteers. Your time, efforts and enthusiasm is so appreciated!
The Mooncake Festival
The mooncake festival is the second most important festival celebrated by the Chinese community. It is on 24 September this year. Chinese families have a reunion dinner and offer food sacrifices to the moon.
The mooncake is the main characteristic food.
If the weather is clear, families like to eat mooncakes and gaze at the full moon in their garden or at a park.
Children light candles in lanterns and have a lantern procession. There is often a neighbourhood lantern procession on Mooncake Festival Day.
Wishing all who are celebrating this festival a HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL!
