"Which countries celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? What makes the Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam special? How does it differ from Mid-Autumn celebrations in other countries?" - These are just a few of the topics that Vinsers have explored during their journey to discover the diverse hues of the Mid-Autumn Festival over the past two weeks. In addition, students have had various cultural experiences through a range of educational activities:
The Vietnam Studies experiential activities have enriched students’ understanding of the Mid-Autumn Festival and deepened their appreciation for the beauty of traditional ethnic culture: Practicing the arrangement of the Five-Fruit Tray, lantern parades, lion dances, making traditional mooncakes, and listening to stories about the origins, significance, and names of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and more.
The hallways and classrooms have been adorned with a new look, thanks to handmade products crafted by students from traditional and recycled materials: lanterns, masks, and even agile little paper lions, all of which contribute to the distinctive colors of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
During STEM classes, students have enthusiastically delved into physics, science, and creative hands-on activities related to familiar Mid-Autumn toys like spinning lanterns and the “Mid-Autumn 4.0” lanterns.
Through Show & Tell activities, students have had the freedom to explore the theme of “Mid-Autumn Festival around the World”: the unique cultural aspects of countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and more have been diligently researched and passionately presented by our young speakers.
Dressed in sparkling traditional Áo Dài costumes and immersed in the joyous atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Vinsers have concluded this meaningful moon season with their teachers and families. Through this, they have cherished the valuable experiences, lessons, and a deeper appreciation for the values of traditional cultural heritage.”
