Making moon cakes by ourselves during the Mid – Autumn Festival is considered good culture practice, helps children preserve the beauty of traditional culture and creates conditions for students to promote creativity and enhance solidarity, mutual friendship as well.

To make beautiful and delicious cakes, teachers contribute their efforts to their students’ products.

After many hours of working, the students’ products were beautiful and attractive moon cakes “made in Asian School”.
