Happy Moon Festival

Weekly Blog

Hi there!

This week has been all about Mid-Autumn Festival! From decorating our lanterns, to mooncake-making to moon-gazing...it's been a fun-filled week for everyone here at Mulberry Tree!

A make-believe market was set up in the function room this week. We had different stalls selling a variety of fruits that people traditionally like to buy during Mid-Autumn Festival like starfruit, pomelo, pears etc. What cute little vendors - how can one resist buying from them?! The kids were delighted to give each fruit a taste test after purchasing the items - look at how happy they are as they begin to learn about the value of money.

Learning how to make snowy mooncakes - great sensory activity!

Before doing some role-play in the function room, the children from the Butterfly room learned the Chinese and English names of ingredients used to make snowy mooncakes. They used a scale to see how much each item weighed before devouring them completely! As it turns out - pomelos are the heaviest of all the fruits that were available for purchase!

It's not easy peeling a pomelo! Teamwork is needed - "One, two, three...pull!"

The Mid-Autumn Festival Bash (7/9) was such a great success with more food than anyone could eat (it's a good thing we started with empty bellies!). We had lamb chops, Tomahawk steaks, pork belly, chicken wings, salmon, salad, chips and dips, cheese & salami and fruits, of course! The children also got to make mooncakes/decorate their paper lanterns with their parents. Events like these provide us with an opportunity to bond with parents/children. It truly was a pleasant evening for everyone! Thanks to those who came!
