Mooncke Festival cum Family Night 2008

What a memorable evening for all of us ! A mid-autumn festival was organized by Honey Tree this time round at our own premises in conjunction with family night.
On 11th of September, our centre was lit up with colourful Chinese lanterns. The evening started off with a Chinese orchestra by our own parent’s volunteers, Mr and Mrs Cheng, together with our Chinese Language Teacher, Fei Lao Shi. Their impressive performance gave a great opportunity for our children to appreciate the traditional Chinese music and culture.
Thunderous applause was meant solely for our special guest, Ms Abigail Chay, an actress cum comedienne who tickled our bones with her hilarious acting as “Chang Er” (嫦娥). It was great to see that some parents were sporting enough to join in the antics of Ms Abigail. She really provided the atmosphere with comic relief.
(Mr Shanker, father of Sai (N1) joined in the antics of Ms Abigail to act as “Hou Yi”(后羿))

Our students joined in the mood of the festive night as well. The N2 students recited a Chinese rhyme while the K2 and K1 students sang a song about the mooncake festival.Games for both parents and children, like “Peeling off the skin of the pomelos” and “Riddles” in English and Chinese were exciting and interesting.
Last but not least, before we bade farewell to one another,all of us walked around the neighbourhood with colourful and decorated lanterns !
