Mid-Autumn Art Works

Mandarin City Campus 

As the Mid-Autumn moon is full again, the children of Mandarin City Campus are making Mid-Autumn Festival art crafts to celebrate the festival. The children in the Red & Pink Group used crayons to colour the mooncakes and scissors to cut them out carefully.

The children in the yellow and blue groups were doing more delicate colouring crafts. The cute moon rabbit in front of the bright yellow moon, the naughty moon rabbit hidden in the mooncake, all of them completed a beautiful piece of artwork with their own hands under the guidance of the teachers. At the end, children took a group photo with the delicious mooncakes.

The yellow, red and pink group from Pudong Campus dipped into the paint and coloured the golden moon for the Mid-Autumn Festival under the guidance of the teacher, and finally they attached a cute bunny tail to the white moon rabbit on the moon of the art work.

The children in the blue group made their own collage of the bunny on the moon according to the instructions, and at the end, they proudly held up their work in their hands and left a confident photo.

Autumn Field Trip

This year's parent-child autumn field trip coincided with a rainy day, we went to the Shanghai Baoshan International Folk Art Museum for a visit. The children were very excited by the variety of exhibits in the museum. From the east to the west and from ancient times to the present, the children discover and feel the fun of various cultures through their own eyes and hands, the narrator's explanation also let the children have more understanding. The time spent with mums, dads and good friends was always so enjoyable.

At the end of the field trip, the children made dragonfly knots with a master of Chinese knotting. The work was quite difficult, the children and their parents listened very carefully, and finally, with the help of the teacher's guidance, they finished a cute little dragonfly.

Parents Meeting

At the end of September, the International Department held its annual parents' meeting, in which the Director of the International Department and the teachers gave detailed explanations to the parents about the school life, the cultivation objectives, the daily arrangement and the introduction of the curriculum. The blue group parents are concerned about the issue of primary school enrollment. The teaching director Even also gave a lot of professional advice. After the meeting, teachers held individual Q&A sessions to help parents. Communication between home and school has always been our foucs, and we encourage parents to keep communicating with the kindergarten and then adjust our education methods to better promote the personalised development of our children.
