Chinese Moon Festival

Today we learnt about the Chinese Moon Festival which takes place on the 15th day of the 8th month in the lunar calendar. This year the Moon Festival will be on the 30th of September. It is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival because chinese people celebrate this special occassion in Autumn when the moon is the brightest, roundest and biggest.

Ms Ko also taught us how and why chinese people celebrate this festival. At the end of our lesson we each made a paper lantern which is used during the festival.

Watch the clip below and share what you learnt about this festival.
