Moon Festival – 2023

To understand the culture of a country, we learn about their traditional festivals, make traditional food, sing their songs, and get to know the mythologies behind every festival. Luckily, the Mid Autumn Festival just comes in time for our IGS students to learn more about Vietnam and the traditional festivals that everyone celebrates! 
The whole IGS were packed with our activities to prepare for this festival. What have we done? 
U6 and Secondary students have learned to make and bake mooncakes with Ms Linh: all those tasty mooncakes with different fillings have been produced in our cozy kitchen which everyone is happy to share! 
The Primary school is busy making traditional lanterns with colorful cellophane in different animal shapes. We sang Mid Autumn songs in Vietnamese, read Moon Festival stories for each other and for U6, made comic books about the festival! 
On Friday, 29th of September, IGS organized a Moon Festival event for everyone to join! We surprised our students with an exciting lion dance. This event creates an opportunity for IGS students to experience Vietnamese childhood in the old Mid-Autumn days.
