This October, ELFA Preschools were filled with smiles, music, and glowing lanterns as our children celebrated Children\u2019s Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival. While each centre celebrated in its own way, each celebration reflected the same ELFA spirit \u2014 where learning, culture, and joy come together beautifully.<\/p>\n

Families joined in hands-on festive activities \u2014 decorating mooncakes, crafting colourful lanterns, and playing traditional games. As dusk fell, a gentle glow filled the air during the lantern walk, where families strolled together under the evening sky. It was a touching reminder of togetherness and love.<\/p>\n<\/div>

At ELFA Hougang, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a meaningful journey into Chinese culture. Through stories, songs, and hands-on activities, children discovered the legend of Chang\u2019e and learned about the symbolism behind mooncakes and pomelos \u2014 symbols of good fortune and blessings.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Their voices filled the air as they sang \u201cYue Liang Yuan Lai Tuan Yuan\u201d (\u201cThe Moon Represents Reunion\u201d), celebrating the warmth of family and connection. Using simple materials like chopsticks and tracing paper, they crafted their own lanterns \u2014 glowing creations that reflected both creativity and cultural appreciation.<\/p>\n

Learning Culture Through Joy<\/h2>\n

At ELFA, every festival is a classroom \u2014 where children learn about culture, express creativity, and experience the warmth of community. Through stories, art, and family bonding, our little ones discover that learning Chinese culture can be both meaningful and fun.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":5471,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-happenings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elfapreschools.com\/singapore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
