On Monday, September the 5th, the whole school celebrated the Moon Lantern Festival. It was a day of colours, song, lanterns, traditions and dragon dance. The stage was beautifully decorated and R/1 JM and 3/4 CJ’s assembly highlighted the cultural aspects of this autumn festival.
Children sang in Vietnamese, danced, read the story of this special celebration and presented their own learning in preparation for the assembly.
Another highly anticipated event was the presentation of this year’s lantern making competition. Indeed it was a very difficult decision. Students designed their own lanterns incorporating numeracy, spatial and creativity skills as well as cultural knowledge.

As we are accustomed, no Moon Lantern assembly happens without a dragon dance. And what a visual feast that was! Highly anticipated by the students and well preformed by our own dragon dancers: Mr Che Murray, Mr Nicholas Bartold and Mr Daniel Pearce.
Also, a big thank you to Ms Hong for her cultural expertise and dedication.
