The moonlight remains with the same landscape. In order to let students understand the connotation of the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, to create a civilized and harmonious educational environment, and to promote the spirit of the traditional national culture, our primary school of WUIS held a themed activity: “We fully embraced the Moon” on the afternoon of September 30th.
This activity was not only highly valued by the school, but also got lots of supports of our school leaders and parents, who gathered together happily with our senior students. They all enjoyed the performance, warm feelings, and the classical inheritance.
The girls of grade six brought us the first wonderful Chinese national dance “Send me to the bright moon”. Gracefully dancing with folding fans, the vibrant girls amazed the audience.
Through the ages, many literati wrote exquisite poems about this night. P4A students chanted “The Moon in Xijiang”.The youthful singing, gently flowed into the hearts of those in attendance.
Li Bai, an indelible name in the history of poetry, was affectionately recited by the students of P4B. The loneliness of “Toast to invite the moon, on the film into three” and his generosity of “Various horses, precious furs, call them out to exchange nice wine”.
From the reverie of “As a child we do not know the moon, and call it a white jade plate” , to the motivational sayings of “Bring the mind of the strong resolution to reach the clouds, take the vast heaven and earth on shoulders” ,through the tunnel of time and space, students of P4C were chasing the brightest and whitest moonlight.
Under the beautiful moonlight, how can we miss guess riddles? There you are, the P4D Mid-Autumn Guessing Game Party has begun! The students were silent and attentive.
After enjoying the wonderful performances of the grade four students, the beautiful Ms. Cecily tested the students. The children competed with each other to share their knowledge about the moon.
After the short game, a scene from “Running To The Moon In Front Of Our Eyes” was brought by P5A and P5B students, and the children showed their expectation of reunion with their hearts.
Yearning for this round moon not only the beautiful Chang ‘e fairy, there were a group of lovely little monkeys! Students from P5C and P5D brought an interesting perpetration from the textbook drama “Monkey Fishing the Moon”.
May we share this beautiful love for a long time.” Mid-Autumn Festival for the Chinese children is thousands of years of spiritual heritage. In the bright moonlight, P6A and P6B students made a good wish, which was their expectation of reunion.
Students from P6C and P6D brought us the sketch “The Mid-Autumn Festival Casting Anecdote of the Class”, which was full of jokes and made people laugh heartily, carrying the atmosphere to a great crescendo.
With the end of the last note of the song “Youth”, the Mid-Autumn festival activity was drawing to a close. At last, our Principal Ms.Lin made a speech for everyone. In the warm blessing of Principal Ms.Lin,the Mid-Autumn Festival activity came to a successful end.
Today, we gathered together to appreciate the excellent traditional Chinese culture. We were talking , chanting, singing, and thinking about the moon. We chased the moonlight together, that has been circulating for thousands of years, which is not only full of humanistic temperament, but also shows the talent of WUIS students. These activities let us wander in the classic, the subtle cultivation of sentiment, and inspire the children to a deeper understanding of traditional culture and thinking. Looking at the Moon shadows interweaving, we sent our thoughts to the Moon, and toasted the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Here, WUIS wishes you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, prosperous family reunions and all the best!
