Published at Jun 06, 2025 02:29 pm
(Jiuting, 6th) The entire faculty and students of Jiuting Chinese School embarked on a vibrant "Dragon Boat Cultural Journey" yesterday, experiencing the charm and warmth of traditional Chinese festivals amidst laughter and joy!

The festival activities began with the kindergarten: adorable kids used their colorful brushes to awaken the "sleeping" rice dumplings and dragon boats, creating lively and imaginative artworks full of childlike wonder.

First and second graders transformed into creative pioneers, decorating rice dumplings and dragon boats, expanding their minds with imaginative drawings that brought their ideas to life.

Third and fourth graders handcrafted sachets and participated in a unique "Rice Dumpling Bowling" game to drive away the five poisons. Cheers echoed from the bustling racetrack, with excitement and joy painted on the children's faces as they shouted in unison, "It's so fun! It's so fun!"

Older students expressed their feelings through calligraphy, inscribing Dragon Boat poems on bookmarks, letting the fragrance of ink transform into wings on the wind.

At 10 a.m., all faculty and students gathered in the Wenhui Hall to watch an animation about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and the story of Qu Yuan. The animated scenes rippled in the children's hearts like a starry river, resonating deeply within them.

During the knowledge Q&A session, students' enthusiastic answers were like spring thunder, creating a lively atmosphere on site. The "Dragon Boat Well-being" cultural wall, filled with heart-felt messages, quietly built a beautiful bridge for the inheritance of Chinese culture.

Under the midday sun, everyone gathered in front of the "Qinpu Building" teaching building to challenge the "Nature's Magic"—standing eggs on Dragon Boat Festival. "Look! My egg is 'dancing'!" As each egg precariously stood on the ground, students cheered excitedly, waving wormwood sachets in their hands to celebrate their success.

Let Chinese culture take root amidst laughter, as its inheritance lies not in preaching, but in the children's bright eyes and eager fingertips.

We sincerely wish every student at Jiuting Chinese School a warm and engaging learning and growth environment!
