Chinese New Year Temple Fair

As the most grand and important festival in China, the Chinese New Year contains rich cultural connotations and carries the cultural memories of Chinese people for thousands of years. At Huili, we immerce our pupils in both bilingual and bicultural abilities with a global perspective. The annual Chinese New Year Temple Fair is the best stage for pupils to showcase their cultural understanding and confidence. Come and see the wonderful moments today! 

Starting from January 12th, the talent show section began to hold intense auditions throughout the school. A total of 37 programs participated in the competition, and finally, 8 programs stood out. 

The programs cover various forms of performances such as dance, drama, guzheng, singing, and magic, presenting a rich and colourful artistic style. On the stage, pupils showed unlimited potential and talent, allowing the audience to feel the charm and power of art, and proving their own infinite possibilities.

Temple Fair 

The temple fair after the talent show was also bustling with excitement. There were sugar painting, clay figurines, calligraphy, Chinese knots, archery, paper cutting, as well as lantern riddles and painting. From Nursery to Grade 10, pupils set up 17 booths in total, each with a carefully designed unique theme that cleverly integrated traditional Chinese cultural elements. 

Each booth, from the design of display boards, introduction of cultural background and allusions, to the items displayed on the booth, was personally explored, and researched by the pupils. They took the lead in planning and completing everything by hand. 

What's special is that the children from the Nursery joined the temple fair for the first time. These youngest children injected childlike fun into traditional art through their artistic creation of fan paintings and dragon model. 

Friends of Huili planned and organized two booths, the Duku and Chinese embroider. They hope to inspire children's strong interest in reading and traditional culture through these two booths.  

“By participating and organizing community activities such as the Chinese New Year Temple Fair and Huili Winter Celebration, our members have gained experiences that are completely different from their daily lives and have continuously grown through practice. We are also working hard to mobilize parental resources to inject more vitality into children and the community, and to promote closer unity within our community. This event has also created a diverse learning environment for our children, allowing them to gain knowledge and hone their skills through participation. "said by Mr Yuan, the chairman of FoH

Through such community activities, the children of Huili School Nantong had an unforgettable time while laying a solid cultural foundation for their future. We look forward to creating more beautiful and unique memories for our pupils in the future through community activities.
