Mid Autumn Festival

The Mooncake Festival, also known as the Lantern festival, was celebrated in the mid of September. The Moon Cake Festival is usually celebrated by the Chinese. Shops were brightly lit and decorated to attract customers. Mooncakes, piglet biscuits, pomelos and other types of food and decorations were sold at the shops during the festival. One example of a place that has shops like that is none other than Chinatown. People from all over Singapore will come to Chinatown just to buy food, decorations, lanterns and more to prepare for the upcoming festival. They drank Chinese tea after eating the mooncake because the mooncake is too sweet. On the 12th of September, our teachers explained about the Mooncake Festival and we tried our best to answer 10 riddles. Those who solved the riddles got a mooncake as a reward and that concluded the Mooncake Festival lesson organised by the Mother Tongue Department.
