In the Chinese culture, there is a Moon Festival each year, to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhongqiu Jie (中秋节) in Chinese, it is also called the Moon Festival or the Mooncake Festival. It is the second most important festival in China after Chinese New Year. It is also celebrated by many other Asian countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
In China, Mid-Autumn Festival is a celebration of the rice harvest and many fruits. Ceremonies are held both to give thanks for the harvest and to encourage the harvest-giving light to return again in the coming year.
This year at Uxbridge we made colourful lanterns, made playdough mooncakes, listened to stories about the Moon Festival and shared homemade wontons with our friends at lunchtime.
